The Faculty of Humanities of Paris (in French: Faculté des Lettres de Paris), commonly known as the Sorbonne, was one of the four faculties of the University of Paris, refounded in 1896, and an independent entity from 1808 to 1896, based in the Sorbonne building, in Paris. It was the heir to the Faculty of Arts of the old University of Paris, founded around 1200, and to the College of Sorbonne, founded in 1270. It was set up by the imperial decree regarding the University of France on 17 March 1808. It partly succeeded the Faculty of Arts of the former University of Paris (1150–1793). In 1896, it was joined to four other faculties in Paris to form the new University of Paris. It was dissolved in 1970, at the same time as the University of Paris. Sorbonne University and the Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University are its main successors today.
