Asia
The collection comprises original works from Eastern and South-Eastern Asia, mainly from China, Japan and Korea.
The holdings are supplemented by literature in Western languages, which relate to this region.
The current acquisitions focus on the arts disciplines of pre-modern Eastern Asia: history including social history and history of sciences and medicine, as well as political science, sociology, philosophy, religion, the fine arts and archaeology.
Due to the exceptionally valuable and comprehensive old collections (printed works and manuscripts), the BSB's literature collection emphasis lies in the fields of the history of printing, codicology and archive materials.

Directions regarding search and resources:
When searching for Chinese literature in Pinyin transcription it must be observed that syllables are spaced apart in writing. Exceptions: personal names and names of locations. The search is not case sensitive.
In the case of large series or omnibus works (Congshu, etc.) it is recommendable to not only search for series titles and volumes, but also individual titles.
In the event that it is impossible to order an individual volume in the OPACplus via "Suche" (search), "Trefferliste" (list of hits) and "Titelanzeige" (title display), kindly use the function "Magazin-Bestellung" (order from stack) in the OPACplus for ordering individual volumes.
