1Cet ouvrage réunit plusieurs spécialistes, orientalistes et byzantinistes, sur la question des interactions entre histoire et hagiographie, et sur les processus de réécriture de l’histoire. Est soulignée l’importance de la manière d’écrire l’histoire, en particulier, pour l’historiographie syro-orientale, sa dimension biographique. L’un des intérêts est de montrer notamment la reprise, l’adaptation et la réappropriation de motifs hagiographiques chrétiens par l’historiographie musulmane.
