# Handbuch der Orientalistik

Das Handbuch der Orientalistik bzw. Handbook of Oriental Studies ist eine seit 1952 im Verlag Brill in Leiden erscheinende bedeutende internationale Buchreihe zur Orientalistik. Bertold Spuler (1911–1990) war einer ihrer ersten Herausgeber. Die Reihe ist in verschiedene Abteilungen, Bände und Abschnitte untergliedert (Der Nahe und der Mittlere Osten, Indien, Südostasien, China, Japan, Kunst und Archäologie, Zentralasien) und umfasste 2007 über 250 Bände. Aufgrund seiner Anlage und seiner langen Editionsgeschichte ist die Gesamtanlage des Werkes schwer zu überblicken.
