In 1929, Dr. J. L. Magnes, the 1st president and rector of the Hebrew University decided to establish a University Press. This step called for daring and vision. "The Land of Israel", said Dr. Magnes, "is in many respects far from being in vital touch with the great world of scholarship, and it is therefore essential for scholars of the University to maintain through their works, contact with their colleagues throughout the world". This scholarly innovative spirit lies in the heart of Magnes Press till this day, close to 80 years later.Today Magnes Press is not only of the Hebrew University but the largest academic publishing house in Israel, serving authores from various academic institutes.
