The Ecole Biblique, strictly the Ecole biblique et archeologique francaise de Jerusalem, is a respected French academic establishment in Jerusalem, founded by Dominicans, and specialising in archaeology and Biblical exegesis. The Ecole was founded in 1890 under the name Ecole pratique d'etudes bibliques by Marie-Joseph Lagrange, a Dominican priest. In 1920, it took its current name, following its recognition, by the Academie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres, as a national archaeological school in France. The Ecole is situated close to an ancient church to which the alleged relics of Saint Stephen were transferred in 439; in the Byzantine Era this church was the centre of the cult of this particular saint. Since its creation, the Ecole has been involved in the exegesis of biblical text, and has carried out archaeological research, in a complementary manner and without secrecy, in Palestine and the adjacent territories. Its principle disciplines are epigraphy, the Semitic languages, Assyriology, Egyptology, other aspects of ancient history, geography, and ethnography.
