Volume 1, no. 1 was published in October 1945, and it included papers by Ernst Cassirer, Felix Weltsch, Fritz Heinemann, Nathan Rotenstreich, and others. A double issue (vol. 1, nos. 2-3) followed in November 1946, and the fourth one appeared in July 1949, that is, from the end of World War II and through the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. Ever since January 1951 (vol. 2, no. 1), Iyyun has appeared regularly.

The name Iyyun derives from the traditional Rabbinic-term for in depth study; see Yeshiva § Talmud study.
