Abstract

[François Thureau-Dangin played an exceptional role in the rediscovery of the history and civilization of ancient Mesopotamia. A philologist and historian, his research on how the cuneiform writing system worked, and on deciphering the Sumerian language, form the basis of our current knowledge in Assyriology. The interest he developed for cuneiform scientific texts may be explained by the course of his career and his research.]
