L’"Écriture divine” (θεία γραφή, diuina scriptura). Postérité sémantique d’une doctrine origénienne
Résumé
One of Origen’s doctrines which remained uncontested among the Church Fathers was the divinity of the Scriptures. This is underscored by the adjective most frequently used to qualify them, θεῖος, understood in its literal sense. This article presents some differences between Greek and Latin in this regard and semantic specificities of particular authors, especially Eusebius, Didymus, Theodoret, Cyril of Alexandria, Ambrosius and Augustine. It states that Sacra Scriptura is barely attested before Gregor the Great and that Biblia Sacra appears to be a modern expression used for the titles of printed books.
