Biography

A former pupil at the Lycée Thiers, Charles Pietri entered the École normale supérieure in 1952 and obtained his agrégation d'histoire. He spent some times at the École française de Rome. In 1961, he was research attached at the CNRS. An assistant at the Sorbonne from 1963 to 1966, he then became an assistant professor at the University of Lille, then a lecturer at Paris-Nanterre. Charles Pietri dedicated his doctoral thesis, published in 1976, to the study of the Roma Christiana from 311-440. In 1975, he succeeded Henri-Irénée Marrou and held the chair of history of Christianity at the University Paris-Sorbonne. From 1983 to 1991 he was director of the École de Rome. On 17 November 1989 he was elected a corresponding member of the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles Lettres.[1]

Work

With his wife Luce Pietri, Jean-Marie Mayeur, André Vauchez and Marc Venard, he was at the initiative of a monumental Histoire du christianisme des origines à nos jours, published from 1992 to 2001 at Éditions Desclée de Brouwer and meant to replace the Histoire de l’Église by Augustin Fliche. He also directed, with Luce Pietri, the second volume of the Prosopographie chrétienne du bas-empire on Italy (2000), an endeavour started by Jean-Rémy Palanque and Henri-Irénée Marrou. Contributors to the two-volume prosopography on Italy included Janine Desmulliez, Christine Friasse-Coué, Élisabeth Paoli-Lafaye, Charles Pietri, Luce Pietri, and Claire Sotinel.

He was also the author of:

  • Le Monde latin antique et la Bible, with Jacques Fontaine, vol. II of the series "Bible de tous les temps", 1985,
  • Christiana respublica : éléments d'une enquête sur le christianisme antique, series of the École Française de Rome, 1997.

Honours

Charles Pietri was chevalier of the Légion d'honneur, holder of the Ordre des Palmes Académiques, officier of the Ordre national des lettres, officier of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic, and commander of the Order of St Gregory the Great and member of the Pontifical Academy of Archaeology.[2]

gollark: The migration to systemd as its init system started in August 2012, and it became the default on new installations in October 2012. It replaced the SysV-style init system, used since the distribution inception. On 24 February 2020, Aaron Griffin announced that due to his limited involvement with the project, he would, after a voting period, transfer control of the project to Levente Polyak. This change also led to a new 2-year term period being added to the Project Leader position. The end of i686 support was announced in January 2017, with the February 2017 ISO being the last one including i686 and making the architecture unsupported in November 2017. Since then, the community derivative Arch Linux 32 can be used for i686 hardware.
gollark: Vinet led Arch Linux until 1 October 2007, when he stepped down due to lack of time, transferring control of the project to Aaron Griffin.
gollark: Originally only for 32-bit x86 CPUs, the first x86_64 installation ISO was released in April 2006.
gollark: Inspired by CRUX, another minimalist distribution, Judd Vinet started the Arch Linux project in March 2002. The name was chosen because Vinet liked the word's meaning of "the principal," as in "arch-enemy".
gollark: Arch Linux has comprehensive documentation, which consists of a community wiki known as the ArchWiki.
