More information:

 The Press was established in 1929, under the name of The Hebrew University
 Press Association. Its name was changed to Magnes Press to serve as a
 memorial to Dr. Judah L. Magnes (first Chancellor and subsequently the first
 President of The Hebrew University) who died in 1948. The purposes of the
 Press were defined as follows: To supply the needs of teaching and research
 at the University; to provide books in Jewish studies, and scientific
 literature in Hebrew; to publish the research of the teachers of The Hebrew
 University; and to publish any other works likely to be useful to the
 advancement of scholarship and of Jewish studies in particular.

 Between 1929 and 1990 the Press published over 2,000 books in Hebrew,
 English and many other languages in the fields of Jewish studies, Oriental
 studies, philosophy, psychology, education, law, mathematics, natural
 sciences, archeology, art, contemporary Jewry, Holocaust studies, Yiddish
 literature and music, folklore research, international relations, and
 bibliography. Books published by the Magnes Press have been at various times
 awarded the Israel Prize, the Bialik Prize, the Tchernichowsky Prize, and
 numerous other prizes.
