Ferdinand LotFerdinand Victor Henri Lot (Le Plessis Piquet, 20 September 1866 – Fontenay-aux-Roses, 20 July 1952) was a French historian and medievalist. His masterpiece, The End of the Ancient World and the Beginnings of the Middle Ages (1927), presents an alternative account of the fall of the Roman Empire than does Edward Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, which had set the tone for Enlightenment scholarship in blaming the fall of classical civilization on Christianity. Lot was a member of the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres, part of the Institut de France, and an honorary professor at the Sorbonne. Lot married the Russian-French medieval scholar Myrrha Lot-Borodine in 1909.

Giulio Basetti-SaniGiulio Basetti-Sani, (6 January 1912 — 24 March 2001), born Francesco Silvestro Federigo Basetti-Sani, was an Italian Franciscan friar, missionary, and Islamicist. After his religious formation in Italy, he was sent to Egypt for a period of formation as a missionary. After returning to Europe for additional study, he was assigned to Egypt again to serve in various Franciscan missions. Basetti-Sani's commitment to ecumenism and interfaith dialogue with Muslims led to severe tension in his community, ultimately leading to his excommunication and expulsion from the Franciscans. The excommunication was later rescinded and he was readmitted to the order, teaching and writing extensively on Islam and Christianity until his death in 2001.
