Antiquarian Bookshop Isis, founded in 1984, is located in the historical centre of Groningen.  

Isis specialises in philosophy and old & rare books. In addition we sell books on literature, history, religion, and art, thus reflecting the learned tradition of a region that produced humanist scholars like Rudolphus Agricola, and stimulated the foundation of Groningen University in 1614.  

Isis is staffed by three academically trained historians whose fields of expertise range from modern philosophy and social history to medieval studies.

Together they produce sales catalogues of philosophical books (twice a year) and old & rare books (once a year) wich are sent to hundreds of customers.  

Of course, Isis also sells its books online. Every day new titles are added to the website catalogue wich currently contains around 6000 titles.

The catalogue is also available through the antiquarian databases (ZVAB & Antiqbook).
