Akademon is (was?) the student-run "pseudo-press" at The Hebrew University in Jerusalem which published bound or stapled photocopies of book chapters and journal articles for their graduate students to use in seminars, especially of out-of-print editions. I see Akademon "books" from time to time in my work at the University of Chicago Library -- they're often donated by faculty.

Not what the Germans had in mind! This certainly appeals to my sense of irony, especially since Hebrew University was founded largely by German Jews!
