Verlag für Orientkunde

Our latest book

For the freedom of the arts and humanities.

The "Oriental Publishing House" or" Verlag für Orientkunde" was founded in 1949 by Dr. Hans Vorndran just to serve the arts and humanities on behalf of the Islamic Orient.

In it's almost 70 years of existence the VfO published 46 volumes of the series "Beiträge zur Kulturgeschichte des Islamischen Orients" (Contributions to the Cultural History of the Islamic Orient).

The image shows the first book published by the Verlag für Orientkunde more than 70 years ago. We keep the books as long as they are not sold. So you can still buy most of the books of the original edition. We are sorry that a few items are sold out.
