Classical Science Press :: Publishers of translated scientific historic works and new scholarly works on scientific topics.

Classical Science Press is dedicated to providing valuable, new resources in the history of science and scientific technology for historians, curators, collectors and anyone interested in the development of science and scientific knowledge.

We offer publications in two categories: translations of historic works and new, scholarly works on specialized scientific topics. We offer primary source material currently out-of-print in both English translations and the original, published language, increasing their availability to a wider audience.

Our Editorial Review Board will examine submissions from authors and scholars. This will enable them to have their manuscripts or thesis papers to be peer-reviewed and published without incurring the cost of self-publication. Read more...
