Brill acquires three leading academic journals

 

Professor Michele Bernardini, the Director of the Department of Asian, African and Mediterranean studies of the Università degli Studi di Napoli “L’Orientale” has signed an agreement by which three leading academic journals join Brill’s publishing programs on Asian studies, Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies, and African Studies. The journals will start publishing with Brill, both online and in print, in 2016. Previously the journals were published by the “Orientale” itself.

 

The three journals include Annali, sezione Orientale,  which has been published since 1929. The scope for this journal includes the languages, literatures, arts, history and material culture of Asia, Africa and the Mediterranean. Eurasian Studies focuses on the history of Eurasia, covering the period from the rise of Islam to the outbreak of the First World War. Ming Qing Yanjiu, founded in 1992, is a peer reviewed journal dedicated primarily to advanced studies of pre-modern China.
