The Administrator, the Faculty Assembly and the entire Collège de France community were deeply saddened to learn of the death of Jacques Gernet, Professor Emeritus and holder of the Chair of Social and Chinese Intellectual History (1975-1992). They pay tribute to one of the greatest sinologists of his time, an eminent scholar and a man of heart who left his mark on the history of his discipline at the Collège de France, as well as on generations of researchers around the world.
