Phanes Press was an independent book publisher until acquired by Red Wheel Weiser Conari in 2004.
Phanes Press was founded by David Fideler[1] in 1985 and published books concerning "the spiritual, philosophical and cultural traditions of the Western world,"[2] and topics ranging from "alchemy to Sufism, from Gnosticism to Neoplatonism"[1] to the traditions of the Pythagoreans.[3] The company's publications were distributed by Words Distributing Company, which had 23 publisher clients in 2000.[4]
The company had published 52 titles by 2004, a so-called "micro publisher",[5] when it was purchased by Red Wheel/Weiser.[2] Reprints of Phanes titles were slated to appear under the Weiser Books imprint after the acquisition.[2]
Among Phanes best selling titles were The Pythagorean Sourcebook and Awakening Osiris.[2] Other titles published by Phanes included:
- Blackfoot Physics by F. David Peat[6]
- The Manual of Harmonics by Nicomachus of Gerasa[3]
- The Pagan Dream of the Renaissance by Joscelyn Godwin[7]
- The Voice of the Earth by Theodore Roszak[8]
