Publisher Karl J. Trübner
The publishing house Karl J. Trübner was a science publisher in Strasbourg , which existed from 1872 to 1918.
It was founded in Strasbourg in 1872 by Karl J. Trübner . The publishing house was founded in connection with the reopening of the University of Strasbourg as Kaiser Wilhelm University , which was supposed to represent the new Reich German Alsace . Accordingly, the focus of the publishing program was on Alsatica. Linguistics , in particular Germanic philology and antiquity, were other focal points .
Important publications of the publisher were:
- Karl Brugmann's outline of the comparative grammar of the Indo-European languages (5 vols., 1897–1900, several revisions, last reprint 1970)
- Friedrich Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language (1884; 24th edition 2002)
- Yearbook of the learned world. Minerva (1881ff.)
The Berlin publisher Walter de Gruyter became a partner in 1906 and sole owner of the publishing house in 1907. In 1919 the Association of Scientific Publishers, Walter de Gruyter & Co. , was formed through a merger with other publishers , from which the Walter de Gruyter & Co. publishing house emerged in 1923 .
