Scope/Description:

Oriens is dedicated to extending our knowledge of intellectual history and developments in the rationalist disciplines in Islamic civilization with a special emphasis on philosophy theology and science. These disciplines had a profoundly rich and lasting life in Islamic civilization and often interacted in complex waysfrom the period of their introduction to Islamic civilization in the translation movement that began in the eighth century through the early and classical periods of development to the postclassical age when they shaped even such disciplines as legal theory and poetics. The journals range extends from the early and classical to the early modern periods ca. 7001900 CE and it engages all regions and languages of Islamic civilization. In the tradition of Hellmut Ritter who founded Oriens in 1948 the central focus of interest of the journal is on the medieval and early modern periods of the Near and Middle East. Within this framework the opening up of the sources and the pursuit of philological and historical research based on original source material is the main concern of its editors and contributors. In addition to individual articles Oriens welcomes proposals for thematic volumes within the series.
