The Life of Stephen the Younger is one of the rare sources for Byzantium in the 'Dark Ages' and one of the key witnesses to the history of Iconoclasm. This book presents a new edition of the text, together with a French translation and commentary, and an important introduction. Stephen was a hermit, killed in 765 at the order of the emperor Constantine V; his Life was written in 809, some forty years after the 7th Ecumenical Council, Nicaea II, at which Orthodoxy was affirmed. Professor Auz???py shows how the Life reflects the politics of the era, both those of the patriarchate on which the author depended, and of the female monastery near which Stephen had lived, and transforms the probable victim of a failed political plot into a Christ-like figure martyred by a diabolic emperor. La Vie d'Etienne le Jeune est une des rares sources sur l'histoire de Byzance durant le Haut Moyen-Age et un t???moignage majeur de la querelle iconoclaste. Cet ouvrage, comprenant une importante introduction, pr???sente une nouvelle ???dition du texte, accompagn???e d'une traduction fran?ºaise annot???e. Etienne est un ermite qui fut assassin??? en 765 sur l'ordre de l'empereur Constantin V. Sa Vie fut ???crite en 809, une quarantaine d'ann???es apr???s le septi???me concile ???"cum???nique de Nic???e II, au cours duquel fut affirm??? l'Orthodoxie. Le professeur Auz???py d???montre comment la Vie refl???te les enjeux politiques de cette ???poque, ceux du patriarcat dont l'auteur d???pendait comme ceux du monast???re de femmes aupr???s duquel Etienne a v???cu, et comment la Vie transforme son h???ros, probablement mis ??? mort dans le cadre d'un complot, en une figure de saint moine martyris??? par un empereur diabolique. Winner of the "Prix Charles Diehl de l'Acad???mie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres 1999".
