About Scrinium Classical Antiquity
'scri·ni·um n. [scribo]. a case, chest, or box for keeping books, papers, letters, etc.; a book-box, letter-case, escritoir.
Scrinium stands for a specialized stock of new, secondhand and antiquarian books about Classical Antiquity. The main theme of our books is Classical Antiquity: texts and commentaries, translations, archeology, philosophy, travel, history, mythology, books for young people, philology, law, reception of classical motives in Middle Ages, Renaissance and our own time and neo-Hellenika (conptemporary Greece), and many more subjects.
A more modest quantity of our books concerns countries, civilisations and religious movements on the edges of the classical world: e.g. Egypt, Middle East and Early Christianity.
New books are partly in stock, partly to be ordered from publishers. We are connected to a large number of publishers and distributors, established both in the Netherlands and abroad. Please note that the number of new books being offered on our site will be increasing considerably over the forthcoming months.
Scrinium will also help you find the books you are searching for. Please feel free to email us your requests!
