In 2017, we celebrated the 500th anniversary of the death of Jerome of Busleyden, better known to humanists as Hieronymus Buslidius. He was born in Arlon, in the Duchy of Luxembourg, around 1470, and distinguished himself as a great humanist: a friend of Erasmus and Thomas More, he was behind the founding in Louvain, within the University, of the Collegium Trilingue , also called Collegium Trium Linguarum , Collegium Buslidianum , in contemporary Dutch Collegie der Dry Tonghen , or more simply said Dry Tonghen . The College (part of the building of which still exists in Leuven) was inaugurated in September 1518.
The Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KU Leuven) and the Catholic University of Louvain (UCLouvain), both heirs of Studium generale Lovaniense suppressed in 1797 by the French Regime, have each chosen to celebrate this anniversary in their own way: the first, with an exhibition accompanied by two works on the college of the Ancien Régime; the second, by the organization of a conference devoted to the restoration and subsequent developments of the orientalist tradition within the Catholic University "restored" by the Belgian bishops in Malines in 1834 within the framework of constitutional freedom of education and transferred to Louvain the following year. It is the contributions presented on this occasion, which are the subject of this collection of studies, to which are added one or other texts allowing to complete the overall picture thus offered. In a diptych. The first table ( Historical Journey ) seeks to present an overview of teaching and research in the field of oriental studies for almost two centuries. The second ( Special Insights ) focuses on a few points which, among others, deserve to be highlighted, such as the Louvain tradition of publishing scientific texts inaugurated by Adolphe Rome (1889-1971).
