The library at the Centre for Modern Oriental Studies was founded
in 1992. It is closely linked to the Centre's research programme and currently holds approx. 55000 volumes and about 80 periodicals. Envisaged as an academic research library to accommodate
the Centre’s key areas of research, it focuses on procuring
new publications in the field of ethnology and political science
dealing with countries in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia. Special emphasis is given to relevance and rapid procurement,
as well as to publications from the countries concerned. In October
2011, new library stocks comprised
27700
volumes.
Apart from this regular stock, further valuable sources and rare books are contained in the
deposit library section of the Academy of Sciences of the German Democratic Republic, and in the collections of Fritz and Gertraud Steppat, African historian Jürgen Herzog, Middle East historian Gerhard Höpp, Indologist Horst Krüger, and Middle East correspondent Harald Vocke, all of which were donated to the Centre.
The mentioned collections have already been acquired in the online catalogue except for the Harald Vocke estate and a part of the books of Gerhard Höpp.
Two of the specialised collections mainly affected the library stock. Approx. 10 000 monographs and 297 journals connected with Middle Eastern studies from the German and General History library section of the former Academy of Sciences of the German Democratic Republic were first of all taken over on a long-term loan. The library then received a further significant addition, the Fritz and Gertraud Steppat gift, a specialised Middle Eastern studies collection with an estimated 10 000 volumes comprising monographs and journals.
The ZMO library also inherited manuscripts from the library section of the former Academy of
Sciences of the GDR. Some of these are in Arabic, amongst others one on Islamic law:

The work was composed in 1071 hiǧrī (1660 AD) and has the shelf
mark 83/731. In addition to this identification see the colophon.
