Summary:
Ce traité sanskrit d’architecture, rédigé par un auteur inconnu résidant dans l’Inde méridionale, est l’un des textes les plus complets au sujet des bâtiments et des agglomérations de l’Inde classique, notamment en pays tamoul et malayalam. Combinaison de considérations techniques, pratiques et religieuses, le « Mayamata » indique comment choisir le site d’une construction suivant la classe sociale de ses futurs occupants, quel plan et quelle orientation adopter pour une maison d’habitation, un palais ou un temple garantissant le bien-être de ses résidents, quelles techniques constructives il convient d’utiliser dans chacun de ces cas. Il détaille la cérémonie à réaliser lors de la pose de la première pierre ou lors de la prise de possession du bâtiment, décrit le mobilier, le linga (représentation phallique symbolique de Siva) et la façon de figurer les dieux dans les édifices. La présente édition illustrée, aux allures de carnet d’architecte, reprend des extraits de la traduction du « Mayamata », revue pour l’occasion par Bruno Dagens, avec un appareil de notes allégé et une nouvelle introduction resituant ce traité des points de vue historique, géographie, mais aussi par rapport à l’ensemble de la tradition indienne classique d’écrits sur l’architecture et l’art d’habiter.
