La réécriture d'un texte hagiographique au XIIe~siècle~: la Vita sancti Sansonis, de Baudri de Bourgueil

The Vita sancti Samsonis was written by Baudri de Bourgueil in the first third of the XIIth century, when he was the archibishop of Dol. According to the own introduction of the author, it has been regarded for a long time as a stylistic rewriting without any major interest. However a comparison between the Vita by Baudri and his source, a carolingian text, a closer examination of the way it was written show that this formal and stylistic rewritten work hides deep thought on hagiographic texts function and aims.
