Ouroboros Press is an independent publishing house largely supported by readers who appreciate not only the importance of classic texts but also the various crafts associated with book arts. Founded by William Kiesel, the press works with scholars, translators and artists to produce fine books in the field of Western Esotericism. Texts are classics in their field and often are presented in their first English translation. Discerning bibliophiles will appreciate these fine esoteric books, which have been made utilizing the aesthetic of Renaissance bookmakers. The typography, ornament, and illustrations reflect the quality of previous eras. The publisher has spared no effort in design or durability, even offering on request hand-bound volumes, in full leather, or vellum, from the magnificent studios of Ars Obscura Bookbinding. All our publications are issued in trade and limited editions and will add lasting value to the libraries of scholars and collectors alike.
