Collège de France takes part in the Renan Sources project

The Collège de France has accepted an invitation from the Institut des textes et manuscrits modernes (ITEM - ENS/CNRS) to take part in the Renan Sources project. ITEM has partnered with several institutions to put the archives of Ernest Renan (1823-1892), holder of the chair in Hebraic, Chaldean and Syriac languages (1862-1892), online. The aim is to offer a digital edition of all the documents from the collections of the Bibliothèque nationale de France, the Musée de la vie romantique and the Collège de France. The Renan Manuscript Week, from December 11 to 15 2023, will see the inauguration of the Renan Sources site following a series of conferences.
