The Hebrew University Magnes Press, known for short as Magnes Press, is the publishing house of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
The publication is named after Yehuda Leib Magnes, the first president of the university.
The initial mission of the publishing house was to produce and distribute in the Land of Israel and the world scientific literature in general and Jewish topics in particular, in Hebrew and English, original and translated, for the use of students and researchers in the scientific community and among the general public.
Magnes Press accepts proposals for the publication of books from researchers from all academic institutions in Israel.
Magnes Press is careful about the academic level of the books it publishes through a peer review process, as is customary among university book publishers.
