Résumé
- Les licornes sont mentionnées dans certaines traductions anglaises de la Bible, mais les érudits modernes conviennent qu'il s'agit d'une mauvaise traduction du mot hébreu « re'em », qui fait probablement référence à un bœuf sauvage ou à un aurochs.
- Le mot « licorne » dans la Bible provient d'anciennes traductions grecques et latines, où « re'em » était traduit par « monokeros » (à une corne) et « unicornis », influençant les traductions anglaises ultérieures.
- Dans la tradition chrétienne, les licornes en sont venues à symboliser le Christ, la pureté et l'Incarnation, reflétant à la fois des concepts théologiques et des besoins psychologiques de sens et de transcendance.
- Les traductions bibliques modernes utilisent généralement « bœuf sauvage » au lieu de « licorne », reflétant une meilleure compréhension du texte hébreu original et de la zoologie historique.
