The volume is not all-inclusive, as the unique holdings of the Gennadeion could not possibly fit within the pages of a single issue of a journal. Our hope is that readers will be tempted to browse the Library's catalogue in person or online (www.gennadius.gr) in order to find their very own hidden treasures.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"American School of Classical Studies at Athen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47891172032663,"sku":"9789609994507","price":2338.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789609994507.webp?v=1781182618","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/hidden-treasures-at-the-gennadius-library-9789609994507","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
