Lucie Bonato

Lucie Bonato published the French archive material on nineteenth-century Cyprus. From 1998 she published the series "Chypre dans les archives de Melchior de Vogüé" in the Cahiers du Centre d'Études Chypriotes. Part I covers the origins of the 1862 mission of Melchior de Vogüé, including the correspondence of Ernest Renan¹. Part II prints 1862 letters in which Edmond Duthoit reports his dig at Dali². Parts III and IV include nine letters of 1863-66 from Demetrios Pierides, who reported finds that Vogüé could acquire or have the Louvre buy⁵. Part V is Duthoit's 1865 travel notebook, found in the Vogüé archives⁶. In 1999 she co-edited with Rita C. Severis a volume on Duthoit³.

In 2000 she edited the 1844 Mémoire of Dagobert Fourcade, French consul at Larnaca from 1840 to 1845, a manuscript the Bibliothèque nationale bought in 1897 at the Mas Latrie sale⁴. Two further parts of the Fourcade-Goepp correspondence followed in 2003 and 2006^7,8. In 2010, with Maryse Emery, she published a biography of the consul Louis Dumesnil de Maricourt (1806-1865)⁹. Her dates and institution are not recorded.
