Academic publishing house Brill has announced the addition of the series Agriculture and the Making of Sciences 1100-1700: Texts, Practices, and Transcultural Transmission of Knowledge in Asia to its publishing portfolio in Asian Studies. All volumes in this series will be published in Open Access with financial support from the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science.

Dept. III Director Dagmar Schäfer comments: “We are very pleased to partner with Brill in providing an interdisciplinary academic platform for the study of pre-modern history of science in extra-European contexts. We believe this transcultural book series will benefit from and be an innovative addition to Brill's strong presence in Asian Studies.”
