Jeanne Ismérie Robert (French pronunciation: [ʒan ʁɔbɛʁ]; née Vanseveren; 31 December 1910 – 30 January 2002) was a French ancient historian, epigrapher, co-author and editor of many volumes on Greek epigraphy.
Personal life[edit]
Robert was born Jeanne Ismérie Vanseveren on 31 December 1910, in Houplines.[1] She married Louis Robert in 1938,[2] and began collaborating with him from around that time until his death in 1985.[3] She donated Robert's archive of documents, ranging from epigraphic squeezes to photographs of inscriptions and sites,[4] to the Académie des inscriptions et belles-lettres in 1998.[5] She entrusted Glen Bowersock with oversight over the documents' use for research, with the assistance of François Chamoux, Jean-Louis Ferrary and Béatrice Meyer.[4] A separate archive of both the Roberts' archaeological activities in Turkey after the Second World War is kept at the library of the Institut national d'histoire de l'art.[6]
She died on 30 January 2002, in Montrouge.[1]
Career[edit]
Robert was a specialist in modern and Ancient Greek, as well as Turkish.[7] She began publishing the Bulletin épigraphique, a regular part of the journal Revue des Études Grecques, with Louis Robert from 1938 to 1984.[8] She also worked with him on excavations,[9] particularly at Amyzou and the sanctuary of Apollo at Claros, between 1946 and 1964,[5] and collaborated with him on certain volumes of the series Hellenica.[10]
