Les inscriptions relatives à Vaison-la-Romaine (Vaucluse, France) à la lumière de Joseph-Dominique Fabre de Saint-Véran

Abstract

Joseph-Dominique Fabre de Saint-Véran (1733-1812), an abbot, saw and described 57 inscribed stones from Vaison and the territory of the Vocontii, in a catalogue (Ms. 556) now at the Inguimbertine Library at Carpentras. No drawing is provided but the text of the inscriptions is given including its development, with indication of provenance and present location. Readings are good, there are few mistakes, and his manuscript can help researchers in the cases in which the monuments have disappeared. It is a catalogue raisonné.
