Gibb Memorial Series

The Gibb Memorial Series (abbr. GMS ) is an orientalist book series with important works of Persian, Turkish and Arab history, literature, philosophy and religion, including many works in English translation. Some works were included in the UNESCO Collection of Representative Works.[1]

It is dedicated to the memory of the Scottish orientalist Elias John Wilkinson Gibb (1857-1901). The series was sponsored and funded by the E. J. W. Gibb Memorial Trust (originally known as the E. J. W. Gibb Memorial) and published from 1905 to 1997 (the publishers in the early years were Luzac & Co., London and E. J. Brill, Leiden).

The series appeared in an old series 1.1905-25.1927 and a new series (NS) 1.1921-33.1997. Some numbers of the series include several volumes.

Various titles are currently available from Oxbow Books, a book publishing and distribution firm in Oxford.
