Pierre Villard (born on 26 July 1958 Saint-Étienne – 25 January 2023 Riom) was a French historian and archaeologist of the Ancient Near East, Professor at the Université Clermont-Auvergne and member of the Archeorient laboratory - UMR 5133 French National Centre for Scientific Research CNRS, Lumière University Lyon 2.

Life

Pierre was admitted to the École normale supérieure de Saint-Cloud in 1978. Villard defended his doctoral thesis in June 1986, prepared at the Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University under the supervision of Paul Garelli, a specialist in the Assyrian world. The dissertation, entitled L'esprit de cour et le style des courtisans dans l'Assyrie des Sargonides, examined relations between Assyrian kings and their courtiers, particularly magicians and astrologers, from the reign of Sargon II (721-705 BC) to that of Assurbanipal (668-627 BC). Throughout his career, Pierre maintained a predilection for the Neo-Assyrian period and became a recognized authority in this field, while continuing to conduct studies on Mari.

In 1988, Pierre was elected Maître de conférences at the Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, where he taught classical ancient history, Near Eastern history, Akkadian language and cuneiform writing for twelve years. From early 1990, together with Francis Joannès, he was the editorial secretary of the journal Nouvelles Assyriologiques Brèves et Utilitaires (NABU), joining the editorial board in 1998.

In January 2000, Pierre Villard defended his Habilitation to Supervise Research at the Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne with a dissertation whose title, De Mari à Ninive, underlined the two poles of his research; Dominique Charpin was the advisor. In June of the same year, he was elected Professor of Ancient History at the Université Blaise-Pascal (Clermont II) in Clermont-Ferrand, now the Université Clermont-Auvergne, introducing the history of the Ancient East to the establishment, after Olivier Rouault had developed, from 1997 to 1999, the archaeology of the Ancient Near East in the History of Art department. Villard also became a member of the Archéoriente team of the Maison de l'Orient Méditérranéen of Lyon II.
