Gyldendalske Boghandel, Nordisk ForlagA/S, usually referred to simply asGyldendal (Danish pronunciation:[ˈkylˀn̩ˌtɛˀl]), is aDanish publishing house.
Founded in 1770 bySøren Gyldendal, it is the oldest and largest publishing house in Denmark, offering a wide selection of books includingfiction,non-fiction anddictionaries. Prior to 1925, it was also the leading publishing house inNorway, and it published all ofHenrik Ibsen's works. In 1925, a Norwegian publishing house namedGyldendal Norsk Forlag ("Gyldendal Norwegian Publishing House") was founded, having bought rights to Norwegian authors from Gyldendal.
Gyldendal is apublic company and its shares are traded on theCopenhagen Stock Exchange (Nasdaq Copenhagen: GYLD A,GYLD B).
Gyldendal stopped the print version of their encyclopedia in 2006, focusing instead on selling paid subscriptions for its online encyclopedia,Den Store Danske Encyklopædi. By 2008 it had decided that it needed another approach to support that online site.[2] In February 2009 Gyldendal began publishing the encyclopedia online using a subscription-free advertising model.[3] In 2017 the online encyclopedia was closed and in 2020 its contents were included inLex, another online encyclopedia.
