Having arrived at the École Biblique in 1893, Father Savignac specialized in epigraphy; he quickly became an absolute reference in Semitic epigraphy. Forming a studious tandem with Fr. Marie-Antonin Jaussen, he travelled with the latter on numerous occasions throughout Arabia, during epigraphic, archaeological and ethnological explorations from which he produced several monographs.
