This article deals with the manuscript tradition of Ambrose's De bono mortis. On the one hand, a list of the manuscripts that we know of so far, dating from the 8th to the 12th century, is provided. On the other hand, some remarks on various issues which are of interest in view of a new recensio and collatio of the manuscripts are presented: the two main corpora in which the De bono mortis is often included, and their origin and circulation up to the 12th century; the relationship between the contents of the manuscripts and their being assignable to different branches of the stemma codicum; the structure of the stemma itself. Cet article traite de la tradition manuscrite du De bono mortis d’Ambroise. D'une part, il dresse une liste des manuscrits connus à ce jour, du viiie au xiie siècle. D'autre part, il présente quelques observations sur diverses questions qui présentent un intérêt en vue de nouvelles recensio et collatio des manuscrits: les deux corpora dans lesquels le De bono mortis est souvent transmis, et leur origine et leur circulation jusqu’au xiie siècle ; la relation entre le contenu des manuscrits et leur répartition entre les différentes branches du stemma codicum; la structure du stemma.
