Abstract

This article provides a survey of Oriental studies in Berlin during the nineteenth century. It uses the University of Berlin as an example of how local traditions at individual universities were able to influence the development and contours of Oriental research. The paper shows how Semitic studies evolved in the context of a more differentiated classification of languages out of Indian/Indo-European studies. It also discusses a more practical interest in the Middle East after the foundation of the German Empire in 1871.
