  • Les monnaies du Fonds Louis Robert
    2011
    Co-Authors: Fabrice Delrieux
    Abstract:

    Spécialiste incontesté de l’épigraphie grecque antique, maître de la géographie historique, Louis Robert (1904-AIBL 1948-1985) attacha beaucoup d’importance à la numismatique dont il se plaisait à dire qu’il était rare qu’on puisse la négliger sans dommage. De fait, Louis Robert n’a pas manqué de montrer, tout au long de ses publications, le fructueux profit que l’on pouvait tirer des monnaies, à commencer par l’examen des exemplaires qu’il avait jugé intéressant d’acquérir lui-même lors de ses voyages entre 1932 et 1963. Le catalogue de ces récoltes ciblées, aujourd’hui conservées au fonds Louis Robert de l’AIBL, fait connaître 1 048 monnaies d’argent et de bronze, grecques et romaines, originaires pour l’essentiel de l’Asie Mineure et surtout de la Carie. Nombre d’entre elles sont parvenues jusqu’à nous dans un mauvais état de conservation mais – c’est là le grand bénéfice de la présente publication – leur propriétaire prit soin de noter précisément le lieu de leur acquisition, voire de leur découverte. Ainsi constituent-elles une source d’information essentielle et d’ailleurs presque toujours manquante pour qui veut travailler sur la circulation monétaire dans l’Antiquité gréco-romaine. Les nombreux indices et le cahier de 53 cartes couleur publiés en fin de volume témoignent de l’importance du parti qui peut en être tiré.

  • Back to the Archives: Elias Bickerman in the Fonds Louis Robert
    Anabases, 2015
    Co-Authors: Albert I. Baumgarten
    Abstract:

    This paper examines the letters of Elias Bickerman (1897-1981) to Louis Robert (1904-1985) found in the Fonds Louis Robert in Paris. It also considers comments by Henri Seyrig (1895-1973) writing to Robert concerning Bickerman in letters in that same collection. It argues that Bickerman’s agenda in Der Gott der Makkabaer was a matter of intense personal belief, in which history confirmed theology. This was opposed to the open attitude, in which conclusions were subject to revision, in Institutions des Seleucides. The paper utilizes that dogmatic setting to help explain why Der Gott der Makkabaer, while acknowledged as brilliant and original, convinced few other scholars. This conclusion is confirmed by comments concerning Bickerman in Seyrig’s letters to Robert. In the end, the article argues that while Der Gott der Makkabaer may have been a «  failure  » it should be compared to the failure of Columbus in reaching India, as a result of which Columbus discovered a new world. Few scholars ever achieve such important and creative failures as Bickerman did in Der Gott der Makkabaer.

  • Hanan Eshel as a Historian of the Jews 1
    Dead Sea Discoveries, 2011
    Co-Authors: Albert I. Baumgarten
    Abstract:

    Abstract This article in memory of Hanan Eshel (1958–2010) focuses on his contributions as a historian of the Jews. It analyzes selected discussions of Eshel’s work, exemplified in his book The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Hasmonean State (Hebrew 2004; English 2008). The article emphasizes the integrative aspects of Eshel’s work, his success at bringing the scrolls, archeological evidence, and Josephus to shed light on each other and expand our knowledge and understanding of the events of the Hasmonean era. The article argues that a key aspect of Eshel’s contribution was to validate the testimony of Josephus, not only as a field guide to the geography and archeology of the Land of Israel, but also as a historian of the Jews. The article compares Eshel’s achievement to that of one of the most distinguished historians of antiquity active in the twentieth century, Louis Robert (1904–1985) who also brought together philology, history, numismatics, papyrology, epigraphy, and archeology in a way unequalled by others, and thus succeeded in solving many complex difficulties concerning the ancient world. The article concludes with a discussion of the collaborative work by H. Eshel, M. Broshi, R. Freund, and B. Schultz, “New Data on the Cemetery East of Khirbet Qumran,” DSD 9 (2002): 135–165.

  • Tome 49. Les mémoriaux de délégations de Claros, d'après la documentation conservée dans le Fonds Jeanne et Louis Robert
    2015
    Co-Authors: Patrice Sawicki
    Abstract:

    The sanctuary and oracle of Claros, in the territory of the Ionian city of Colophon, have left us an extraordinarily rich documentation of the part they played in the Greco-Roman society of the second century AD and the fi rst generation of the third century AD: there is a dense series of texts inscribed at the instance of the theopropoi who came to consult the oracle on behalf of their cities, and above all of records of the choirs of children sent with varying degrees of regularity by some of the cities. Th e vast majority of the texts were excavated either by Th eodore Macridy and Charles Picard at the beginning of the twentieth century or, above all, by Louis Robert, Jeanne Robert and Roland Martin between 1950 and 1961…
