André Lemaire (born 1942) is a French epigrapher , historian and philologist . He is Director of Studies at the École pratique des hautes études , where he teaches Hebraic and Aramean philology and epigraphy. He specializes in West-Semitic old civilization and the origins of monotheism . He is a corresponding member of the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres .
He heads the scientific edition of the international series Supplements to Vetus Testamentum (more than 30 volumes).
King Solomon's Temple
In the 1980s, Lemaire authenticated a small, broken, carved piece of " ivory pomegranate " that dates to the 8th century and would have belonged to the cult objects of Solomon's Temple . This is according to his analysis of the inscription examined with the methods of epigraphy. [1]
This interpretation was challenged by Yuval Goren of Tel Aviv University , who stated that the inscription is subsequent to damage that had fragmented the piece.
Following this, a commission of experts from the Israel Museum examined the artifact and concluded that the inscription is a modern forgery, and that the item dates back to the 14th or the 13th century BCE, well before the time of Solomon. [2]
