Le catalogue des Éditions de l'EFEO, riche d'environ 900 titres, propose des publications portant sur l'Asie, depuis l'Inde jusqu'au Japon, et couvrant un large spectre disciplinaire en sciences humaines et sociales (archéologie, histoire, anthropologie, littératures, philologie, etc.).
Ces publications, si elles s'adressent d'abord à la communauté scientifique, intéressent également un public attiré par les civilisations et sociétés d'Asie.
From 1969 until his death in 2019, S. Sambandhaśivācārya worked at the French Institute of Pondicherry in the project of critically editing Śaiva literature. Coming from a family of Śaiva priests well-versed in the domain of temple rituals, and with a long experience in reading various ancient scripts, he made innumerable significant contributions, particularly in the preparation of the first critical editions of ground-breaking theological works such as Rāmakaṇṭha’s commentaries on the Mataṅgapārameśvara, Sārdhatriśatikālottara, and āgamas such as the Rauravottara, Ajita, Sūkṣmāgama and Dīptāgama.
