Summary
Stéphane Binon, a Belgian byzantinist, was killed in the Second World War in 1940, at the age of 32. His scientific work on Byzantine hagiography and Mount Athos earned him the esteem of several specialists, including the Bollandist Hippolyte Delehaye, with whom he exchanged a correspondence published in 2004. New documents discovered in Rome, Paris and Brussels, complete his portrait and reveal the extent of his research on Athonite monasteries. Gabriel Millet, Vitalien Laurent, Franz Dölger and Stéphane Binon himself are the main authors of the 32 letters published in the present article.
