"Cosmology was central to many intellectual currents in late antiquity. Inspired by classical texts, notably Plato's Timaeus and Aristotle's Physics, thinkers of the period pondered questions about the world's origin and its physical constitution. This volume, with contributions from an interdisciplinary group of scholars, illustrates the range and diversity of these reflections. Fascination for cosmology connected Plato and Proclus with Origen and Gregory of Nyssa. For readers interested in ancient philosophy, early Christian theology, and the history of science, this volume provides a unique insight into a history that is still too often neglected. L'int�er�et �evident pour la cosmologie platonicienne, en particulier pour le Tim�ee, et, en parall�ele, l'attention renouvel�ee pour toute une tradition commentariste aristot�elicienne, influencent profond�ement la fa�con de comprendre et de formuler certaines questions li�ees �a l'origine du monde et �a sa constitution physique �a la fin de l'Antiquit�e. Gr�ace aux contributions d'un groupe interdisciplinaire d'universitaires, ce volume illustre la grande diversit�e de ces r�eflexions. Pour les lecteurs int�eress�es par la philosophie ancienne, la th�eologie pal�eochr�etienne et l'histoire des sciences, ce volume offre un aper�cu unique d'une histoire encore trop souvent n�eglig�ee"--
