Présentation of the CERCOR

Given its long history, LEM is divided into 4 research units :
 

LE CERL

The Centre d’Études des Religions du Livre (Center for the Study of the Religions of the Book) is the original core of LEM. It was founded in 1970 by three important scholars affiliated with the Ecole Pratique des Hautes études, Henry CORBIN, Georges VAJDA et Paul VIGNAUX, with the aim to study the three monotheistic traditions in a comparative perspective.
