Hidden treasures

Treasures for specialists and book lovers

Some beautiful books for specialists and book lovers alike.

From our archeology, philology, literature and history shelves. Added some nice antiquarian books. Some of the books once belonged to professor K.J. Dover, there is a nice Troja title from the library of the late Wout Arentzen, a collection of interesting treatises on codicology from the library of Professor Carl Deroux, but also a random choice from our collection Corpus Christianorum from the famous Belgian publisher Brepols, and some books from other recent or older purchases.
