L’évangile de Marc en copte sahidique. Caractéristiques textuelles de la première traduction (sa I)

International audience As in Greek, the Coptic Sahidic version of the Gospel of Mark experienced a more unstable and variable transmission than other New Testament texts. The various handwritten witnesses make it possible to establish that the text was the subject of a first translation, which was then revised, and that there is also a text resulting from a compilation between these two translations. Although it is not possible to determine on which Greek text the ancient Sahidic translation was made, this contribution endeavors to highlight some of its textual characteristics which, in their variety, are in agreement with the hypotheses by C.-B. Amphoux on the belated and harmonizing character of the Gospel of Mark.
