| 520 | |a La description de Sarah dans l’Apocryphe de la Genèse 20:2–9 est peut-être le seul texte juif de l’antiquité qui illustre la physionomie d’une femme. En lisant cette description à la lumière des études physionomiques, qui supposent que l’esthétique physique reflète les qualités intérieures, j’analyse les préférences de beauté exprimées dans le texte. Dans mon analyse, j’utilise des descriptions physionomiques issues de textes anciens du Proche-Orient et de la Grèce pour explorer ce que les préférences esthétiques auraient pu indiquer dans l’antiquité. Deuxièmement, alors que d’autres ont proposé que l’examen physionomique concerne Sarah comme épouse, je propose que la description de Sarah ne concerne pas sa relation avec Abraham. Le passage parle plutôt des qualités propres de Sarah, que les Égyptiens sont capables de reconnaître grâce à leur examen physionomique. Ils examinent Sarah comme une épouse possible pour le roi la trouvant convenable. De plus, sur la base de l’apparence de Sarah, ils concluentqu’elle possède la sagesse. | ||
| 520 | |a The description of Sarah in Genesis Apocryphon 20:2–9 may be the only narrative containing a woman’s physiognomic description that has been preserved in ancient Jewish texts. First, by reading the references in light of physiognomics, which assumes that physical aesthetics reflect inner qualities, I analyze the beautypreferences expressed in this text. I make use of physiognomic descriptions in ancient Near Eastern and Greek texts to uncover what the aesthetic preferences may have indicated in antiquity. Second, whereas others have proposed that the physiognomic examination concerns Sarah as a spouse, I argue that the description of Sarah’s appearance does not concern her relationship with Abraham. Rather, the passage speaks of Sarah’s own qualities, which the Egyptians are able to recognize thanks to their physiognomic examination; they examine Sarah as a possible spouse for the king and find her suitable. Also, based on Sarah’s looks, the Egyptians conclude that she possesses wisdom. | ||
