Founding of the Society

Year Authority / Notes
1772

Accoring to its website, the Académie was founded in July, 1772 and formally approved by letters patent of Louis XVI in November, 1780 as Société Littéraire, and in March 1789 was transformed, again by letters patent from the King, into the Académie Delphinale. Like other nationally funded academies, it was suppressed in 1793 by decree of the Convention. It reappeared in 1796 in a "forme modeste" and then in 1802 as the Société des Sciences et des Arts de la ville de Grenoble.

Its website goes on to say that after the Cent Jours (1815, March 20 - 1815, July 8), it once again fell into dormancy, and revived only in 1836, and took once again in 1844 its name Académie Delphinale, of which it had been deprived for a half century.

Full-text of 1846 (T.1) - 1859 (T.5); 1856 [1860] (Ser 2, T1) - 1863 [1864] (Ser.2, T.3); 1865 (Ser.3, T.1) - 1885 (Ser.3, T.20); 1886 (Ser.4, T.1) - 1906 (Ser.4, T.20); 1907 (Ser.5, T.1) - 1912 (Ser.5, T.6); 1931 (Ser.6, T.2) -1932 (Ser.6, T.3) and 1935 (Ser.6, T.6) is available at Gallica: la bibliothèque numerique.

The record in the Bibliot. Nat. Fr cat. indicates that the title for t.1 (1836/45) was Bulletin de la Société des Sciences et des Arts de Grenoble, and that its title thereafter was Bulletin de l'Académie Delphinale. That record gives the numeration information as 1836/45-1855 (I-V). 1856/60-1863 (2e s. I-III). 1865-1885 (3e s. I-XX). 1886-1906 (4e s. I-XX). 1907-1928 (5e s. I-XX). 1929-1953/55 (6e s. I-XXIV/XXV). 1956/57 (7e s. I/II)-

The record in the Zeitschriftendatenbank (ZDB) indicates that the title was Bulletin Mensuel de l'Académie Delphinale, but that at the beginning it ws called Bulletin de l'Académie Delphinale. That record gives the numeration information as 1.1836/45(1846) - 5.1853/55(1863); 2.Ser. 1.1856/60(1861) - 3.1862/64(1864/65); 3.Ser. 1.1865(1866) - 20.1885(1886); 4.Ser. 1.1886(1887) - 20.1906(1907); 5.Ser. 1.1907(1908) - 20.1929(1930); 6.Ser. 1.1930(1931) - 24/26.1953/55(1957); 7.Ser. 1/2.1956/57(1959) - 3/6.1958/61(1962); 8.Ser. 1.1962(1963) -
