ABSTRACT
Si le mythe de l’Égypte pharaonique remonte aux historiens de l’Antiquité — Hérodote et Diodore de Sicile surtout, si l’on peut observer dans l’histoire de l’érudition comme dans celle des arts plastiques plusieurs renaissances égyptiennes successives chronologiquement réparties entre la Rome impériale et l’expédition de Bonaparte, il semble bien qu’il faut attendre le début du XVIIIe siécle pour que la matiére égyptienne féconde la ltterature romanesque.
