Abstract
John D. Turner has devoted extensive work to the study of the corpus defined by Hans-Martin Schenke on the basis of a number of common features. He was designated as Sethian because of the special role that he holds with Seth especially the central place occupied in his seed or offspring. Among these texts, he found four preserved Coptic version in Nag Hammadi codices. The mystical-philosophical content is particularly close to the Platonic tradition. It adopts to the testimony of Epiphanius that it existed in his time, the second half of the fourth century, many writings under the title Allogene. The repetitive nature of the writing might have been a mnemonic described in a training environment in connection with a ritual, baptismal. The original text of the chapter is in French. Keywords: Allogene; Coptic version; John D. Turner; Nag Hammadi codices; Seth.
