History

In the 19th century, Brill was often called upon to print books prepared by other publishers, who felt Brill had the highest-quality Arabic fonts. Brill published the "Encyclopaedia of Islam" (in German, French, and English), first in 1913, and later in 1987; they also published many journals on Islamic and Biblical studies, and critical text for many manuscripts of the Middle Ages.
