Résumé :
The main purpose of this paper is the editio princeps of St. Agatha’s
Passio BHG 36. This text, as already suggested by Vincenza Milazzo, was probably
manipulated at the beginning of the XVII century by supporters of the martyr’s
birth in Catania, in contrast with the Greek tradition according to which she was
born in Palermo. The edition is preceded by the presentation of the Greek dossier
on the saint.
