Daniel Schlumberger, archaeologist and art historian, worked from 1925 to 1972 from Lebanon and Syria to Afghanistan. He revealed the profound impact of Greek civilization and art in the Orient, from the Mediterranean to India, and brought to light the grandeur of the Kushan civilization. He was successively a member of the Antiquities Service of Syria and Lebanon, director of the French Archaeological Delegation in Afghanistan, professor at the University of Strasbourg, and then director of the French Institute of Archaeology in Beirut. Some of his most important writings are republished here, accompanied by a presentation and a bibliography by the researcher, an inventory of the main sites on which he worked, all illustrated with excerpts from his letters, photographs, and maps. Through this volume of a collection intended to present some of the great figures of research in the Orient, the French Institute of the Near East today pays tribute to one of its most eminent members.
