Publication Overview
The Asiatic Society is known to the world mostly because of its publications of high academic standard. Just after four years of its inception the Society started its publication in 1788 with the publication of Asiatick Researches. In the words of Sir William Jones, “If now it be asked, what are the intended objects of our inquiries within these spacious limits, we answer, MAN and NATURE; whatever is performed by the one, or produced by the other.” Following its objectives, the Society has been publishing original and noteworthy books and articles to maintain its glory and high academic standard as in the past.
The Society publishes books in different series, viz., Bibliotheca Indica, Monograph, Seminar & Public Lecture, Catalogues & Bibliographical Works etc. and some under Miscellaneous publications. The Asiatic Society also brings out periodicals (Journal & Monthly Bulletin) and booklets on different occasions.
