History

The company was founded in 1853 by Martinus Nijhoff, grandfather of the Dutch poet of the same name and a seller of rare books.[2] In the 1970s and 80s it became well known as an independent international law publisher. It was acquired by Wolters Kluwer in the 1970s[3] and subsequently by Brill Publishers.[1]

gollark: And if you're in (the) (Ant)[Aa]rctic(a), you run into similar problems because of the broken daynight cycle.
gollark: And prayers take place at certain times of day, which of course causes problems with no real day/night cycle available.
gollark: For example, you are required to pray facing the Mecca. How do you do this while in orbit of Earth? You need some sort of complex gyroscopic chair to face you in the right direction.
