Procreación entre divinidad y materia en la exégesis gnóstica de tradiciones judías y platónicas Troiano, Mariano History of Religion - Gnosticism - Abortion – Middle Platonism Historia de las religiones - Gnosticismo – Aborto – Medioplatonismo The present communication will expose evidence by which the Gnostic texts present an original vision of the platonic demiurge, product of a precise exegesis of sources coming from different literary corpus well known by the authors. For this we will take one of the most controversial subjects present in the Gnostic texts of the Nag Hammadi Collection, the shapeless, strange, aborted god (ϩⲟⲩϩⲉ - On the origin of the world (NH II, 5) 99, 9 and 26, The hypostasis of Archons 87, 28; 94, 15 and Excerpts of Theodotus 68). Our objective is to show that this concept, of great semantic richness for Gnostic authors, is anchored in conceptual interpretations from both, the Jewish tradition (Genesis 6,4, Genesis Rabba 26, 7, 1 Henoch VI, 1-XVI, 4 and the Book of Giants (4Q Book of Giants)) as well as Middle Platonic writings by Plutarch, Atticus, and Numenius. En la presente comunicación nos proponemos exponer indicios de la forma en que los textos gnósticos presentan una visión original del demiurgo platónico, producto de una precisa exégesis de fuentes provenientes de diferentes corpus literarios y bien conocidas por los autores. Para ello tomaremos uno de los trazos más polémicos presentes en los textos gnósticos de la Colección de Nag Hammadi, el dios informe, extraño, abortado (ϩⲟⲩϩⲉ - Sobre el origen del mundo (NH II, 5) 99, 9 y 26, La hipóstasis de los arcontes 87, 28; 94,15 y los Extractos de Teodoto 68). Nuestro objetivo es mostrar que dicho concepto, de gran riqueza semántica para los autores gnósticos, está anclado en interpretaciones conceptuales provenientes tanto de la tradición judía (Génesis 6,4, Génesis Rabba 26, 7, 1 Henoc VI, 1-XVI, 4 y el Libro de los Gigantes (4Q Libro de los Gigantes)) como de los escritos medioplatónicos de Plutarco, Ático y Numenio.
