This is the first edition of ten Funeral Orations of Michael Psellos based on all the manuscripts preserving those works and accompanied by a full apparatus fontium and the necessary critical apparatus. Some of those texts had been published by the Greek scholar Konstantinos Sathas at the end of the XIX c. Those editions hardly correspond to the contemporary standards. The same applies to several more recent editions, prepared by P. Gautier, which also leave much to be desired. The most important texts of our collection are the funeral orations for the patriarchs Michael Keroullarios, Konstantinos Leichoudes and John Xiphilinos, a personal friend of Michael Psellos. All the texts offer valuable details concerning Psellos's early life; at the same time they constitute an important testimony to the survival of the Late Antique Rhetoric in XI c. Byzantium. They constitute a necessary supplement to Psellos's more famous work, his Chronography, verifying and shedding a new light on the events narrated there.

"Grégoire de Nysse est l'un des plus grands théologiens de langue grecque, et a été considéré comme le fondateur de la mystique chrétienne. Ce volume comporte 4 textes, apportant chacun une réponse à la question de la mort. Face au thème de la mort, Grégoire de Nysse s'est exprimé aussi bien comme pasteur et prédicateur que comme philosophe et théologien. Certaines occasions étaient solennelles. Les trois oraisons funèbres de ce volume ont en effet été prononcées à Constantinople, en présence de l'empereur Théodose. La première porte sur Mélèce d'Antioche, qui présidait en mai 381 le concile de Constantinople I, la deuxième sur l'impératrice Flacilla et la troisième sur Pulchérie, la fille de l'empereur. Transposant sur le plan de la foi les motifs rhétoriques de louange et les arguments philosophiques de consolation, Grégoire y trouve l'occasion de traiter de politique ecclésiastique et de dresser un portrait modèle de la souveraine chrétienne. Le traité Sur les enfants morts prématurément approfondit la question du sort des défunts en s'attaquant à un problème fréquemment traité par des auteurs païens : comment justifier l'inégalité des vies humaines, la longue vie des méchants et la mort précoce des enfants? Grégoire répond, comme les stoïciens, en se référant à la providence et à la finalité universelle, mais son explication en appelle surtout à la capacité de l'âme de comprendre Dieu : cette capacité, qui ne cesse de croître tout au long de la vie, si l'âme regarde vers Dieu et se purifie, doit se poursuivre dans l'éternité, tant pour les adultes que pour les enfants morts prématurément, tous promis à la béatitude".
