Dear readers, We proudly present this list of Athos books, that we collected in the past years. We do not pretend to present a complete list of books, but it is slowly growing (about 160 – 2013). In the list below we mainly pay attention to books published in Dutch, English, German and French, because we have the possibility to read these books. That’s why you will miss books in some other languages, like Italian, Spanish, Greek or Slavonic.
Suggestions for new books on the list are welcome (in any language, just post a comment or email us).
