English summary: The Chaldean Oracles is a fragmentary second-century work of philosophy that focuses on the divine triad - Father, Power, and Intellect - intermediary beings, the soul, and different worlds. These studies examine the connection between the Oracles and the medioplatonist movement, the relationship between Chaldean and Christian theology, and the reception of the Oracles from late Antiquity to the seventeenth century. French description: Les Oracles chaldaiques posent nombre de problemes a l'historien de la pensee antique, tant sur le plan de la forme que sur celui du fond. Texte datant du IIe siecle de notre ere, en vers principalement hexametriques, dont nous ne possedons que des fragments et des temoignages, conserves par des auteurs posterieurs, en langue grecque et latine, les extraits a notre disposition recelent une philosophie, d'inspiration platonicienne, dont les themes principaux sont la triade divine formee de Pere, Puissance et Intellect, les etres intermediaires, l'ame et ses vicissitudes, les divers mondes. Les questions que nous souhaitons traiter, en publiant ces travaux de recherche, sont le rattachement des Oracles au mouvement philosophique du medioplatonisme et les rapports entre theologie chaldaique et theologie chretienne. Nous etudions egalement la fortune et l'infortune des vers chaldaiques dans l'Antiquite tardive et jusqu'au XVIIe siecle, en degageant d'autre part les perspectives d'une nouvelle edition des Oracles.
