English summary: Long neglected and rejected for their violation of decorum, or falsely promoted as provocative and marginal, the Priapeia allow for a close evaluation of a collection of poems that adheres to Hellenistic literary influence, while at the same time following the Roman tradition. This edition analyzes the different aspects of the work and provides a translation meant to simplify the complex variations of a style often altered in the search of an exaggerated popular vulgarism. French text. French description: Oeuvre longtemps negligee, rejetee comme transgressant les bienseances ou, au contraire, artificiellement promue comme provocante, marginale, indument chargee aussi d'une information sociologique et morale sur les murs antiques, l'homosexualite notamment, les Priapees laissent discerner un fonds originel complexe dans lequel s'amalgament a une influence litteraire hellenisante les composantes diverses d'une tradition romaine, litteraire et populaire. Illustration possible d'une litterature comico-licencieuse aujourd'hui perdue, mais dont les Satyrica de Petrone peuvent proposer un echo dans le domaine narratif, litterature dans laquelle la uis comica du grotesque et du burlesque s'integre dans un fonds culturel, les Priapees constituent par la richesse de leurs jeux intertextuels, leurs effets de distanciation et, plus generalement, la maitrise de leur redacteur, un document precieux pour approfondir notre connaissance a la fois lexicale, linguistique, stylistique et culturelle de la litterature latine. Ces differents aspects de l'uvre sont analyses dans cette edition qui, fondant l'etablissement du texte sur un corpus largement etendu de manuscrits, en precise l'histoire, en eclaire les nombreux problemes d'interpretation, propose une traduction attachee a rendre les variations complexes d'un style trop souvent altere par la recherche d'un vulgarisme populaire outre et constitue la premiere edition francaise proprement scientifique des Priapees.
