Subject area Orientalism
Subject area
Oriental Studies constituted itself early on as one of the main segments of the Ergon publishing programme. The commitment to this subject area grew out of the engagement with Friedrich Rückert, one of the co-founders of European Oriental Studies. The successful publication of Rückert’s unique translation of the Koran brought the publishing house widespread attention. This was followed by publishing support for the two Orientalistic Institutes (Max Weber Foundation) in Beirut and Istanbul and renowned university research institutions. A diverse series portfolio with a broad thematic focus and top-class content establish Ergon’s reputation as one of the leading specialist publishers of Oriental studies.
