Life and work

Berthelot graduated from HEC Paris in 1993 and earned her master's degree in literature. She changed the course of her career in the 1990s after traveling to Israel for two years and studying newly discovered texts of the Bible. Her education included the history of religions at Paris Sorbonne-Paris IV University where she obtained a Diploma of Advanced Studies (DEA). She spent the following years at the Orion Center for Qumran Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Her Sorbonne doctorate in 2001, directed by Mireille Hadas-Lebel, was on “Israel and Humanity in Jewish Thought in Hellenistic and Roman Times.” In 2002, Berthelot joined the CNRS, at the Center Paul-Albert Juillet in Aix-en-Provence as a researcher, and she was appointed a CNRS research director in October 2015.

Working with biblical manuscripts and their commentaries, her research covers the notion of humanism in ancient Greek philosophy and ancient Jewish thought, specifically the Jewish reading of the bible's story of the conquest of Canaan by the Hebrews or the universality of Jewish law. [1] [3]

Berthelot co-directed, with Thierry Legrand and André Paul, the bilingual edition of the Dead Sea Scrolls (Qumran) from 2006 to 2018 for the Cerf editions as well as God, an investigation, a work comparing the three great monotheisms and their commonalities as well as what distinguishes them.

From 2014 to 2019, Berthelot directed the research project "Judaism and Rome," funded by the ERC (European Council for Research). [4]
