Myriam Yardeni

Myriam Yardeni (Hebrew: מרים ירדני; 27 April 1932 – 8 May 2015) was an Israeli historian and scholar of French history.

She studied Hebrew at Ulpan Etzion in Jerusalem and attended a pedagogical seminary founded by Martin Buber.

Her master's thesis, written in 1961 under the guidance of Jacob Talmon, explored the life and work of Bernard Lazare, a French Jewish anarchist and journalist.

During her sojourn in Paris, she studied at the Ecole des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS).

Her work focused on several research themes - national conscience in France in the early modern period and religious minorities in French context, in particular Huguenots and Jews.
