Discovery of an unpublished manuscript by Antoine Meillet

The Antoine Meillet archive, whose inventory was put online in 2021(https://archibibscdf.hypotheses.org/9888), has revealed an exceptional manuscript : a draft of Lithuanian grammar, written in 1923, making it a unique document. Thanks to a partnership with the Lithuanian Embassy, it has been digitized and will shortly be posted online on Salamandre, the digital library and catalog of the Collège de France archives. Daniel Petit, professor at the École Pratique des Hautes Études and the École Normale Supérieure, began the study of the text and highlighted its interest. This text was also the occasion for organizing a study morning on the Lithuanian language on November 6, 2024, under the aegis of Professor Rizzi.
