Publications

One of the core missions of the Arsinoe Temple Library is to publish Derkomai spiritual teachings, but a main spiritual teaching of our faith is developing a broad-based education in the humanities.  For this purpose, we preserve classical literature across cultures and review historical epics through a prism of scholarship that makes the narratives accessible to a modern audience while preserving the historical content.  This requires a fine balance between original text, contemporary articles, and commentaries that highlight elements of the narrative and add supporting research on historical topics a modern reader would lack.  A merger of literature and history.  The result is a published classical or historical work that unfolds at a level of enjoyment as experienced by the original audience for modern readers.

Arsinoe Library’s Encyclopaedia of Primary Sources

Arsinoe Library Logo -70% The true measure of any progress is knowledge.  As we conduct research into Arsinoe Temple Library’s many publications, sources uncovered and utilized are added to the Encyclopaedia of Primary Sources and made available for other researchers and scholars.  It is our way of contributing to the collective knowledge and for those wishing to have a deeper understanding of the topics we research.  A premium is placed on primary sources, but if the topic of research is sufficiently historical or obscure, sometimes secondary and even tertiary sources will be catalogued within the encyclopaedia.
