From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jean Bottéro (30 August 1914 – 15 December 2007) was a French historian born in Vallauris. He was a major Assyriologist, a renowned expert on the Ancient Near East and director of the Assyriology Chair at the École pratique des hautes études. He died in Gif-sur-Yvette.
Biography[edit]
He participated with other colleagues committed to the left (Elena Cassin, Maxime Rodinson, Maurice Godelier, Charles Malamoud, André-Georges Haudricourt, Jean-Paul Brisson, Jean Yoyotte) in a Marxist think tank organised by Jean-Pierre Vernant. This group took on an institutional form with the creation, in 1964, of the Centre des recherches comparées sur les sociétés anciennes, which later became the Centre Louis Gernet, focusing more on the study of ancient Greece.[1]
Between 1965 and 1967, together with Elena Cassin and Jean Vercoutter, he was the editor of the three volumes of the Fischer Weltgeschichte [de] (Fischer World History) devoted to the Ancient East.[2]
