Summary

This appendix aims to provide a convenient handlist of all the E. J. W. Gibb Memorial Series (GMS) publication, for ease of reference. Information is simplified and reduced to the essentials – that is, titles, authors and editors/translators, rather than the full bibliographic details as published. This is partly because these are often very long and couched in an unwieldy and elderly system of transliteration, and partly because, for the most part, they are listed conveniently at the start of many of the volumes; both reasons that would make it tiresome to retype them. It should be noted, however, that many of the printed lists are inaccurate, especially as to the date of publication and sometimes also are themselves quite reduced; from around 1960, the practice of listing them was discontinued. Such details as are provided here are taken from the volumes themselves. The Minutes of the meetings of the Trust do not contain systematic notices of recent publications.

The Trust supported the publication of several other works; some of these are very occasionally noted, but these are not listed here. It is notable that E. J. W. Gibb's History of Ottoman Poetry, of which only volume one (1900) was published in his lifetime but was seen through the press by E. G. Browne and kept in print by the Trust ever since, was never included in these lists as a GMS publication.

The name of the publisher is omitted: it was principally Luzac & Co. of London, publisher to the Trust until 1978, after which the place of publication is generally unstated, although, as the Trust was based in Cambridge, some volumes indicate Cambridge as the place of publication. Later volumes were first distributed and produced for the Trust by Aris & Phillips of Warminster until 2002 and latterly Oxbow Books of Oxford, until 2022. Many of the early volumes also record E. J. Brill, ‘Imprimerie Orientale’ of Leyden (Leiden), as the publisher, but strictly speaking the Trust was the publisher and all these (and other firms) were responsible for the printing or distribution. The place of publication is only included if specifically mentioned on the title page. Some volumes, notably of the Masnavi, were frequently reprinted, but only new editions are noted here when identified.
