Note publique d'information : Haymon vit et enseigne à l’abbaye Saint-Germain d’Auxerre au milieu du IXe siècle.
Nous établissons l’authenticité et l’édition critique de l’Annotation brève sur Daniel,
jusqu’à présent inédite, en donnons une traduction, puis montrons que l’exégèse d’Haymon
témoigne de la réussite du renouveau carolingien. La pensée patristique est assimilée,
ce qui permet à Haymon d’élaborer des commentaires personnels. Attentif à la correction
du texte biblique, il utilise la révision réputée peu diffusée de Théodulfe d’Orléans.
Pillé par la Glose ordinaire, il est lu durant tout le Moyen Age jusqu’à l’époque
humaniste. Commentateur des prophètes, il actualise leur admonition en exaltant une
sainteté monastique. Il minore la responsabilité du pouvoir séculier au profit de
celui des religieux. Le mouvement réformateur carolingien, encouragé par les rois,
se retourne contre eux dans l’œuvre d’Haymon : le point de vue ecclésiologique qu’il
défend prépare celui de ses confrères des Xe-XIe siècles.
Note publique d'information : In this dissertation, we first state the authenticity and establish the - previously
unpublished - text of the Adnotatio breuis in Danielem. We then provide a French translation
and at last show how the fruitful achievements of the Carolingian revival are enlightened
by Haimo’s practice of exegesis. Indeed, since the thought of the Fathers eventually
became part of the common background by that time, Haymo was able to build and shape
personal commentaries on biblical texts. As his consistent use of the theodulfian
recension shows - a text that was hardly available at all -, he was deeply concerned
with accuracy in the Bible. Later, he was plundered by the Glossa ordinaria and constantly
read from the Middle Ages to the early modern period. The main lines of thought we
stress here are the following. As a commentator upon the Prophets, he adapts their
admonitio to his own time by exalting monastic holiness. When it comes to the relationships
between secular and spiritual power, Haymo understates the responsibility of the secular
power while emphasizing the religious one. The Carolingian reforming movement that
was encouraged by the kings thus finally turns against these in the works of Haymo.
Therefore, the ecclesiological point of view already defended by Haymo can be seen
as a forerunner of his Xth- XIth century colleagues’ thought.
