The Oriental School of Rome: history, figures, cultural scene, and book collections

This miscellanea of studies aims to pay homage to the history, both ancient and recent, of the Oriental School of Rome, now Italian Institute of Oriental Studies, which underpins its current activities as a center rich in scientific and educational offerings, from archaeology to philology, from literary studies to history, from anthropology to art history, geographically spanning from the Mediterranean to Far East and chronologically from pre-history to the most recent modernity.
