English summary: This text provides a translation of Book XV of Isidore of Seville's Etymologies. Beginning with a historio-geographical journey of the cities of the Mediterranean basin which marked the Judeo-Christian and Greco-Roman traditions, this text discusses numerous aspects of cities in antiquity. Isidore drew from both technical writings of biblical and Christian literature in this text. French description: Isidore de Seville, dans le livre XV de ses Etymologies, propose d'abord un voyage geographico-historique faisant decouvrir, grace a de courtes notices, les villes du bassin mediterraneen qui ont marque les traditions judeo-chretienne et greco-romaine. C'est ensuite une ville-modele qu'il explore et reconstruit, en mettant en rapport ses differents aspects, urbanistiques, architecturaux et meme sociaux, caracteristiques de l'Antiquite classique puis de l'Antiquite tardive. La perspective s'elargit enfin a la structuration du territoire de la cite: routes, limites de proprietes, categories des terres. Puisant a toutes les sources disponibles, que l'edition s'attache a identifier, Isidore reprend aussi bien des notices d'auteurs techniques que, souvent, des elements de la litterature biblique et chretienne; car c'est a des lecteurs promis a des fonctions d'Eglise qu'il entreprend d'expliquer le fonctionnement de la cite des hommes.
