Basilisk press

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Basilisken-Presse is a specialist publisher for the history of science and in particular the history of biology . It is named after the mythological basilisk . The publishing house was founded in Marburg in 1976 by Armin Geus , professor of medical history , and initially published facsimile prints of hard-to-access and little-known writings in small and numbered editions. Catalogs of modern art and poetry followed . Since 2008, Basilisken-Presse has been affiliated with the Natur + Text publishing house in Brandenburg , based in Rangsdorf near Berlin. The publishing program includes writings on the history of biology as well as biographies of important biologists, the history of the humanities and science as well as essays and editions critical of the times on current political debates.
