Description: "Marcel Sigrist is known in the world of assyriologists for his major contribution to the knowledge of the Ur III period (ca. 2100-2000 BC), owing in particular to the transcription of thousands of tablets that he published in various books. For several decades he taught Assyriology at the E cole biblique et arche ologique franc ʹaise de Je rusalem, where he also served as the director on several occasions. His scholarly legacy includes a selfless commitment to science, a desire to make the world of the Bible better known, as well as a concern to share his knowledge of the Ancient Near East and the Holy Land with a wider audience and not only with specialists. The many researchers, from all over the world who came to work in Jerusalem also remember Marcel Sigrist's warm welcome.
