Athenaeum Rare Books

Athenaeum Rare Books is a small, independent antiquarian bookdealer, located in the Upper East Side of Manhattan. We specialize in early printed books and incunabula, with a focus on Greek and Latin Classics, Renaissance Humanism, History, and European Literature. Beyond our core area of specialization, we carry a small general antiquarian stock including fine bindings, academic monographs, maps, and prints. We have over twenty-five years of academic and professional engagement with humanism and the history of texts and printing. We regularly attend rare book auctions and undertake buying trips in North America and Europe. We are happy to answer any enquiries, and to consult with clients on acquisition and collection formation.
