Gerlach Books - Middle East & Islamic Studies

Gerlach Books Middle East & Islamic Studies was founded in Berlin in 1997 and has since supplied libraries and researchers in 82 countries with publications in print or electronic form dealing with the Middle East and/or Islam.

In addition to new publications, Gerlach Books' portfolio has been expanded over the years to include journals, databases, maps, atlases, antiquarian and rare books, historical photography, and manuscripts – always with an explicit focus on the Middle East and/or Islam.

Gerlach Books has catalogued and sold a substantial number of scholarly libraries in the fields of Middle East and Islamic Studies, Islamic Philosophy, Islamic Art History, and Near Eastern Archaeology to leading libraries and universities in North America, Europe, the Middle East, Australia, and East Asia.

Our sister company Gerlach Press 🔗 was founded in 2010 as a new, but at the same time classic academic publishing house with intensive personal support for authors and manuscripts, specialized in one subject only, a “Cutting Edge Publishing Programme in Middle East and Islamic Studies” with a special emphasis on research beyond conventional narratives.
