| Summary: | This article examines the practice of fasting on the Sabbath found among Roman Christians and Marcionites alike. Whereas it has been suggested that Roman practice is derived from that of Marcion, this is seen as unlikely as Roman Christian fasting was uninterrupted from Friday to Saturday, whereas Marcionites kept a cena pura. The conclusion is that Roman Christian fasting is derived from the historic practice of Roman Jewish circles (where fasting on the Sabbath was an established custom). The origin of Marcionite practice is uncertain, although the practice of Jews or Christians in Pontus is a possible source Cet article examine la pratique du jeûne lors du sabbat comme il a été vécu parmi les chrétiens romains et les Marcionites. On a suggéré que la pratique romaine est dérivée de celle de Marcion, mais cette hypothèse est considérée comme peu probable parce que le jeûne chrétien à Rome était ininterrompu du vendredi à samedi, alors que les Marcionites gardaient une pura cena. La conclusion est que le jeûne romain chrétien est dérivé de la pratique historique de certains cercles juifs romains (où le jeûne au jour du sabbat était une coutume établie). L’origine de la pratique marcionite est incertaine, bien que la pratique des juifs ou des chrétiens à Pontus soit une source possible |
