Librairie orientaliste Paul Geuthner
The Librairie orientaliste Paul Geuthner is an important French publisher specializing in oriental studies . It was founded in 1901 by Paul Geuthner (1877–1949), a native of Leipzig , who became a French citizen in 1914. After his death in 1949, his adoptive son Frédéric took over the publishing house.
The publishing house was the privileged editor of the École nationale des langues orientales vivantes for decades , until it was renamed the Institut national des langues et civilizations orientales in 1971, and worked with other cultural and scientific institutions, such as the Museum Guimet .
In 1982 the founder's great-nephew took over the management of the company, which was in financial difficulties at that time. Towards the end of the 1990s he handed the family business over to a group of Franco-Lebanese bibliophiles , including Myra Prince. The sociologist and architect of Lebanese origin became the head of the company, which now operates as Société Nouvelle Librairie Orientaliste Paul Geuthner .
