The Brill publishing house from Leiden in the Netherlands has a history of more than 325 years. As a strict academic publisher Brill always dealt with polyglot typography on a high level. Among its many publications for Oriental studies, the Encyclopaedia of Islam is probably the most prestigious and widely known œuvre of their collection.

In a collaboration with DecoType, we developed new typesetting schemes, at once building on a long established practice of scholarly publishing and at the same time, using the newest Arabic typesetting technology Tasmeem to elevate the quality of typesetting to one of the highest standards conceivable today.

The 2009 Revelation and Falsification in the series Texts and Studies of the Qur'an was followed in 2010 by Letters of a Sufi Scholar in the series Islamic History and Civilisation.
