History
| The Assumptionists founded the Ecole des Hautes Etudes Orientales (School of High Oriental Studies) that later became the Institut Français des Etudes Byzantines (French Institute of Byzantine Studies or IFEB) in Kadikoi, on the Asiatic side of Istanbul. The library, which existed from the beginning, consists of books and journals dedicated to Byzantium, in particular to the history of the Greek Church, the Oriental Churches and Greek patristics. It possesses about sixty Greek and Slavonic manuscripts, a collection of Byzantine seals, a few rare editions and a unique collection of journals from Greece, Asia Minor and various centres of the Greek diaspora around the Mediterranean. |
The IFEB publishes the Revue des Etudes Byzantines and Les Archives de l’Orient Chrétien.
Access and Registration
The Bibliothèque Jean de Vernon is reserved for specialists (professors, researchers) and master's students. Undergraduate students are admitted with a letter of recommendation from their professor.
