EAST AND WEST is an English language quarterly published since 1950 by IsMEO (Istituto Italiano per il Medio ed Estremo Oriente [Italian Institute for Middle and Far East]) and now by IsIAO (Istituto Italiano per l’Africa e l’Oriente [Italian Institute for Africa and the Orient]). East and West was founded and edited until 1978 by Giuseppe Tucci. From 1978 to 1997 it was under the editorship of Gherardo Gnoli and, from 1997 to 2000, by Maurizio Taddei. After the death of Professor Taddei (5th February 2000), Gnoli once again took over the editorship. The structure of the periodical includes various sections: Articles, Brief Notes and Items for Discussion, Obituaries, Book Reviews, Books Received, List of Contributors, and a Table of Contents. Up to 1986 East and West also contained a section entitled IsMEO Activities, providing information on archaeological excavations and restorations carried out by IsMEO, as well as on conferences, missions, exhibitions and publications promoted or organized by the Institute. The focus of East and West has been on oriental art and archaeology - with particular emphasis on results from various archaeological excavations in Iran, Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, Nepal, Tibet, etc., either directly organized by the Italian Institute, or in collaboration with other scientific institutions and teams -, religion and philology.
