Matthieu d{\textquoteright}Aquasparta (v. 1240-1302) est une figure embl{\'e}matique de la fin du XIIIe si{\`e}cle. Ma{\^\i}tre en th{\'e}ologie de l{\textquoteright}Universit{\'e} de Paris, son oeuvre est abondante ; franciscain, il est {\'e}lu ministre g{\'e}n{\'e}ral de l{\textquoteright}Ordre ; nomm{\'e} cardinal par Nicolas IV, il est un des plus fid{\`e}les alli{\'e}s du pape Boniface VIII. Pourtant, malgr{\'e} ses {\'e}crits et son parcours politique, Matthieu d{\textquoteright}Aquasparta ne conna{\^\i}tra aucune post{\'e}rit{\'e} avant d{\textquoteright}{\^e}tre red{\'e}couvert au d{\'e}but du XXe si{\`e}cle. Son oeuvre de th{\'e}ologien acquiert une place croissante dans les analyses des historiens et des philosophes m{\'e}di{\'e}vistes gr{\^a}ce aux {\'e}ditions de ses Questions disput{\'e}es, publi{\'e}es par les fr{\`e}res de Quaracchi ; les interpr{\'e}tations s{\textquoteright}affinent progressivement : apr{\`e}s l{\textquoteright}avoir longtemps consid{\'e}r{\'e} comme un {\guillemotleft} n{\'e}o-augustinien {\guillemotright} convaincu, les historiens s{\textquoteright}interrogent sur sa place parmi les franciscains de sa g{\'e}n{\'e}ration, son lien avec Thomas d{\textquoteright}Aquin et ses rapports avec la tradition aristot{\'e}licienne. L{\textquoteright}{\'e}dition de ses six Quodlibets disput{\'e}s {\`a} Paris et {\`a} la Curie pontificale offre de nombreuses perspectives de recherches. Ces textes sont conserv{\'e}s principalement dans deux manuscrits, un autographe et une copie corrig{\'e}e par l{\textquoteright}auteur ; il s{\textquoteright}agit par cons{\'e}quent d{\textquoteright}un t{\'e}moignage exceptionnel pour {\'e}tudier le travail d{\textquoteright}un ma{\^\i}tre en th{\'e}ologie. L{\textquoteright}analyse de ses manuscrits (autographes et manuscrits de travail) compl{\'e}t{\'e}e par l{\textquoteright}{\'e}tude du contenu des questions {\'e}dit{\'e}es permettent d{\textquoteright}esquisser une introduction biographique du personnage. La diversit{\'e} des questions quodlib{\'e}tiques contribue ainsi {\`a} {\'e}clairer diff{\'e}rents aspects de la pens{\'e}e du ma{\^\i}tre sur des sujets aussi divers et pr{\'e}cis que la forme substantielle unique ou le m{\'e}tier des avocats et des juges.

Matthew of Aquasparta (v. 1240-1302) could be seen for many reasons as an emblematic figure at the end of the thirteenth century. He was a master of theology at the University of Paris and wrote many works ; as a Franciscan, he was elected as Minister general of the Order ; he was nominated cardinal by Nicolas IV and was one of the most faithful allies of Bonifacius VIII. However, in spite of his position as a master of theology and as a cardinal, Matthew of Aquasparta did not become a famous historical figure and only became acknowledged at the beginning of the twentieth century. His work as a theologian became more and more important in the studies of historians and medievalist philosophers, thanks to the editions of his Disputed questions published by the Quaracchi brothers ; the interpretations became more and more refined : historians considered him as a {\textquotedblleft}neo-Augustinian{\textquotedblright}, but they recently wondered about his place among the contemporary Franciscans, his links with Thomas Aquinas and his connection with the Aristotelian tradition. This work is based on an edition of his six Quodlibeta. It is completed by some studies and commentaries which throw light on his life and on different sides of his work. The master{\textquoteright}s Quodlibeta are kept on an autograph and on a copy corrected by Matthew himself ; his manuscripts are important testimonies to study the process of writing and the work of a theologian master. The variety of sources and the diversity of themes in his Quodlibeta (the unicity of substantial form or the ethics of advocates and juges) enables us to understand his historical importance better and to clarify his part in the intellectual and political context at the end of the thirteenth century.
