Religious history reading book

Religionsgeschichtliches Lesebuch ( RGL ) is the title of a German-language academic book series with translated religious source texts from the religions of different peoples and cultures around the world. It was published by Alfred Bertholet in conjunction with specialist scholars.

The series is supplemented by the textbook on the history of religion , which was founded by Chantepie de la Saussaye (1848–1920) and which appeared in a fourth edition ( edited by Alfred Bertholet and Edvard Lehmann ).

The 2nd expanded edition of the Religionsgeschichtliches Lesebuch series was published in Tübingen in 1926–1932 , sometimes with different authors / translators than the first (e.g. Erich Schmitt (1893–1955) instead of Wilhelm Grube (1855–1908) at Tape about the Chinese).

First of all, a reading book on the history of religion was published in 1908, edited by Alfred Bertholet (Tübingen: Mohr, 1908 - digitized version). A new series, also edited by Alfred Bertholet, has been published since 1913.

It is one of the most important German-language series of its kind.
