French description: Le Moyen Age croyait aux pouvoirs des pierres precieuses: leurs vertus medicinales et magiques etaient consignees dans des traites encyclopediques, les lapidaires. Ce savoir, herite de l'Antiquite, est reste perenne durant des siecles: le diamant rend invincible; le saphir delivre les prisonniers; l'emeraude guerit les problemes de vision; l'amethyste protege de l'ivresse; l'hematite arrete les hemorragies, etc. Les pouvoirs attribues aux pierres procedent par analogie, mode de pensee qui prevaut pendant toute la periode medievale. Cette anthologie des lapidaires medievaux propose pour la premiere fois une edition bilingue de ces textes longtemps meprises et toujours largement meconnus, avec une selection d'extraits en ancien et moyen francais, accompagnes de leur traduction.
