Muriel Debié, born in 1967, is a French historian specialist of the Syriac world.

Biography[edit]

Muriel Debié was born in Pau on December 28, 1967. After studying at Henri-IV and then at the École normale supérieure, she pursued a path as an orientalist at the Catholic University of Paris and later at the Sorbonne (Paris IV), where she completed a thesis under the supervision of Bernard Flusin on Western Syriac historiography.[1]

She teaches as a director of studies at the École pratique des hautes études (EPHE), where she holds the chair of Oriental Christianities.[2] One of her research topics focuses on the complex relationships between Christians and Muslims in the early Muslim caliphates.[3] Additionally, Muriel Debié contributed to France Culture, addressing topics related to her research, such as Ephrem the Syrian, the city of Antioch or the figure of Jacob of Serugh, among others.[4][5][6][7]

She is generally regarded, along with her colleague Françoise Briquel-Chatonnet, as a significant Syriac scholar.[8][9] The two researchers also collaborated within the framework of Les Belles Lettres, where they oversaw the publication of a new collection dedicated to Oriental Christianity.[10][11] Their joint work, "Le monde syriaque" (The Syriac World), received a major award from the Institut du monde arabe in 2018[12][13] and the medievalist prize la Dame à la licorne.[14]

The following year, in 2019, Debié contributed to the writing of The Quran of Historians[15][16][17] and later joined the Institut Universitaire de France as a senior member in 2020.[18]

In November 2022, she was appointed a Knight of the Ordre national du Mérite for her academic research.[19]
