Jean Clédat à Meir (1899–1901)

Summary
This paper introduces Jean Clédat (1871–1943) and his years of work on the site of Meir in Middle Egypt as well as his unfulfilled plans for publication based on the manuscript now housed in the Louvre Archives. The French Egyptologist, particularly known for his excavation works at Bawit (1901–1905), left an extensive artistic and scientific estate. His remarkable drawing skills made iconographic and epigraphic documentation a prominent aspect of his research. As a member of the Institut Français d’Archéologie Orientale since 1899, Clédat worked on various archaeological sites in Egypt. The study of the Necropolis of Meir was central to his work between 1899 and 1901. Meir was intended to be one of Clédat’s major projects but remained incomplete and never made it to publication.
