Bulletin of the Society for Near Eastern Studies in Japan

October 4, 2012 — Leave a comment

The Bulletin of the Society for Near Eastern Studies in Japan (Nippon Oriento Gakkai), or 『オリエント』(Oriento), has nearly 50 years of scholarly research freely available online.

PDF articles from volumes 5 (1962) to 51 (2008) can be accessed through English menus on the journal’s page at J-STAGE (Japan Science and Technology Information Aggregator, Electronic).

Most of the articles are written in Japanese, of course, but most of these include English abstracts (at the beginning of the article in some volumes, at the end in others).

The Society for Near Eastern Studies in Japan has also posted PDF images of volume covers going back to 2003. The covers helpfully include bilingual tables of contents, making this an easy way to scan the most recent article titles:
