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