lounging

Recently in a hotel lounge(not the drinking kind) I saw the following next to a display of decorative library books: α?χαιολογια with no accents or punctuation. Immediately above this is a picture of a bust of an ancient greek man, identity unknown to me.
Trying to put my incomplete first year Greek knowledge to work I have failed to come up with the meaning.
The direction I was going was the following
α?χαι feminine nominative plural- rulers or beginnings
o the article or relative pronoun, masculine and neuter respectively, neither of which fits
λογια feminine nominative singular- a collection for the poor(Liddell)
Does anyone know what this means, and can you help me with the parsing?
Thanks for any help.
