Prix ​​Volney

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Prix ​​Volney (“Volney Prize”) is awarded - at the suggestion of the French Académie des Sciences - in recognition of outstanding academic work in the field of classical philology . The prize founded by Constantin Volney in 1803 was originally a gold medal worth 1,200 Francs. The prize was financed by a legacy from Volney, who left the two French academies ( des sciences and des inscriptions ) a sum of 24,000 francs to promote science.
