• Description:
  Folia Orientalia (FOr) is an international multi- and interdisciplinary journal published annually by the Commission of Oriental Studies of the Polish Academy of Sciences (Kraków Branch). It represents a broad range of Oriental Studies, especially linguistic, literary, historical, archaeological, cultural, religious and art history issues, mainly from the Near and Middle East, South Asia, Central Asia and Africa. The peer-reviewed journal Folia Orientalia was founded in 1959 by Tadeusz Lewicki, an eminent Polish Arabist, who noticed the desirability of creating a new yearbook with a broad spectrum of studies devoted to cultures and civilisations of Asia and Africa. Lewicki served as chairman of the editorial board (1959–1968, 1971–1976) and as editor (1980–1986). Earlier, in the years 1959–1979, the post of editor was held by Franciszek Machalski, Iranologist. Subsequent editors were Stanisław Stachowski, Turkologist (1987–2002), Andrzej Zaborski, Arabist and specialist in comparative linguistics of Semitic-African languages (2003–2014), and Tomasz Polański, an archaeologist and philologist, specialist in Hellenistic studies (2015–2021). Since 2022, the position of editor has been held jointly by Maciej Klimiuk (Free University of Berlin, Heidelberg University) and Arkadiusz Płonka (Jagiellonian University in Kraków). We invite you to submit articles, review articles and book reviews that fit within the aims and scope of our journal. Each article is subject to rigorous double-blind peer review. From 2022 onwards, we accept articles in English, French or German.
