By the way, the administrative act establishing the two chairs
(Sanskrit and Chinese) was published in Roland Lardinois, Sylvain Lévi
et l’entrée du sanscrit au Collège de France.
Best wishes,

Dear colleagues,
This is to corroborante the answer Rosane Rocher gave to the
interesting question of Dean Michael Anderson.
It was indeed the other way round for those creations were the
result of an increasing aspiration to secularism (« laïcité »).
It was specially the case, regarding the Ecole pratique des hautes
études (EPHE), with the creation, in 1886, of its 5h section, which
was named section «des Sciences religieuses» (and not «d'histoire
des religions», for instance), for the issue was to provide a
non-denominational teaching of religious facts. Moreover, under
the aegis of Victor Duruy, the Minister of Education (Ministre de
l’instruction publique), the credits allocated until then to the
Faculties of Catholic Theology were transferred to the EPHE at the
occasion of the creation of the section of Sciences religieuses, to
the great displeasure, not surprisingly, of those Faculties.
Best,
Lyne

No, that was done by the government. The Arabist Silvestre de Sacy
had long lobbied for them.

Were these the ones founded by the church to facilitate conversion
to Christianity, as so many of those early positions were?

Curious, I was just reading that Abel-Rémusat (1788--1832) secured the
first chair in Chinese at the Collège de France, also in 1815;
enviable time.
Best, Richard

Dear colleagues,
I just noticed a typo in my post. Please correct it: Chézy’s chair in
Collège de France was created in 1815.
My very best,
Lyne

Dear colleagues,
It strikes me that I ought to have given some reason for my abrupt
warning against the English translation of Raymond Schwab'sOriental
Renaissance. Let me quote the introductory paragraph of the review I
gave it back in 1988:
"Scholars interested in the East-West intellectual encounter will
welcome the publication of an English translation of Raymond
Schwab's "La Renaissance Orientale", a book that, though 34 years
old, has not been replaced. A look at the contents of this handsome
volume reveals useful added features, such as an alphabetical and
updated bibliography and a fuller and more readable index. A
thorough perusal of the English translation, however, turns elation
into disappointment. Not only was Schwab's difficult, poetic French
occasionally beyond the powers of the translators, their lack of
familiarity with Indian culture and Anglo-Indian history not
infrequently led them astray."
Examples are given in the core of the review. The full text can be
found in Orientalistische Literaturzeitung 86.4, 1988, coll.
471–473.
Rosane
