Resumen de La philologie romane en Suisse. Du cas particulier à l’exception
In the academic landscape of Switzerland, the existence and place of Romance philology may, at first glance, appear traditional, that is, conforming to its German origins. In reality, however, there is a Swiss approach to Romance philology, which appeared with the introduction of the discipline to the University of Zurich in 1872. The present article provides a retrospective of the arrival and activities of Gustav Gröber, the first to hold the Chair of Romance Philology in Zurich, as well as the emergence of a Swiss model, distinct from its German mould. Included in the annex is a selection of documents from the archives of the University of Zurich relating to the Chair of Gröber.
