Gabriel Camps (May 20, 1927 – September 7, 2002) was a French historian, founder of the Encyclopédie berbère and considered a prestigious scholar in Berber historical studies.

Gabriel Camps studied the pre-Roman epochs of North Africa, but also the Berber kingdoms, the African tribes, the Libyan scripts, and the Punic world. Most of this work focussed on Berber history and in 1984 he was the founder and first editor-in-chief of the Encyclopédie berbère, launched under the aegis of UNESCO.

The biggest part of Camps's research was done in Algeria, although he worked also on Corsica.

He died in 2002 in Aix-en-Provence; on his death, the Algerian Minister of Culture expressed his condolences to the University. (Wikipedia) ...more

Quotes by Gabriel Camps (?)

“C'est en punique que sont rédigés les dédicaces religieuses, les rares textes administratifs conservés, les épitaphes royales et les légendes monétaires, et non pas seulement chez les Numides de l'Est mais d'un bout à l'autre de l'Afrique du Nord. Ce fait mérite d'autant plus d'être rappelé que les Africains possédaient un système d'écriture national suffisamment répandu pour qu'il ait survécu jusqu'à nos jours chez les Touareg qui, ironie du vocabulaire, nomment cette écriture tifinagh, ce qui semble bien signifier « la punique ». Seule la cité de Dougga tenta un moment, sous Massinissa et Micipsa, d'utiliser le libyque dans ses inscriptions officielles, fait unique dans l'état de nos connaissances.”
