Anne-Marie Delcambre

Anne-Marie Delcambre (26 June 1943, in L'Hermitière – 2 January 2016 in Saint-James) was a French Islamic studies scholar and Arabist. She obtained a Paris-Sorbonne University postgraduate doctorate in Islamic studies, as well as a doctorate in Law studies.

Anne-Marie Delcambre taught Arabic language at the Lycée Louis-le-Grand and contributed to the Encyclopædia of Islam by writing articles. She caused controversy among Islamic apologists by publishing translations of Islamic texts that they had carefully avoided mentioning in their works and in the media.
