Over seventy years of bookselling tradition on Kuźnicza Street

A bookshop with a scholarly character

Aula Codex continues a long tradition of academic bookselling near the University of Wrocław. We remain independent — not a chain — and we stock for readers who need precise editions, not only bestsellers.

On our shelves you will find a wide selection of academic and specialist literature in:

  • Social sciences
  • Law
  • Medicine & health
  • Technology & IT
  • History
  • Economics

Fiction lovers will find a thoughtful literary section, including titles in English and German. Students can ask for textbooks and language learning materials.
