Most volumes ex Georges Le Rider, with his bookplate. In Numismatics—An Ancient Science, Clain-Stefanelli writes: “Usually 1836 is considered a significant date in the development of numismatic science. In that year two periodicals were started which for over a century attracted the most distinguished numismatists of the time and set the highest standards in research. In Paris Revue numismatique was founded … in London appeared the … Numismatic Chronicle.” These two journals, along with Revue belge de numismatique, which began publication a few years later, remain indispensable storehouses of information on ancient coins, medieval and modern numismatics, especially relating to their respective countries of publication. Of the three, and those published before or since, Revue numismatique may be the most important scholarly numismatic periodical ever issued. Long runs appear on the market infrequently, and complete sets are extremely rare. Clain-Stefanelli 893. Engel et Serrure 65–67: “Cette revue, créée par E. Cartier et L. de la Saussaye, est la première publication périodique sérieuse qui ait été consacrée à l’étude des monnaies anciennes au profit des sciences historiques.” Grierson 21. The Mélanges de numismatique is Clain-Stefanelli 675; Engel et Serrure 75: “Receuil comencé en 1874 … pour remplacer la Revue numismatique dont la publication semblait arrêtée.”

IN QUA EDITÆ ANTEA DISSERTATIONES RECENSENTUR, MULTISQUE ACCESSIONIBUS LOCUPLETANTUR; ALIÆ NUNC PRIMUM PRODEUNT; SINGULÆ AUTEM SELECTIS INSIGNIUM NUMISMATUM ICONIBUS ILLUSTRANTUR. TOMUS PRIMUS & VOLUMEN ALTERUM. Londini: Impensis Richardi Smith, 1706, and Amstelodami: Apud Rodolph. & Gerhard. Wetstenios, 1717. Two volumes. Folio [46 by 30.5 cm], contemporary brown full calf, boards intricately paneled in blind, with mottled borders and center panels; edges decorated in gilt; spines with seven raised bands, ruled, lettered and lavishly decorated in gilt; page edges speckled in red. (48), 726, (42); (8), xxviii, 656, (52) pages; finely engraved allegorical title in the first volume; titles printed in red and black; superbly engraved frontispiece portrait of the author; superbly engraved portrait of George Augustus, Prince of Wales; finely engraved dedication vignette in the second volume; woodcut initials and tailpieces; coin engravings in the text. Bindings remarkably well-preserved and expertly rebacked. A fine set. An exceptional set of the third, last, and best, edition of this landmark work. Born as an unillustrated quarto in 1664, a greatly expanded and illustrated if still rather modest edition in two parts appeared in 1671. Its apotheosis here, in two oversize folio volumes, was most handsomely executed and, in the present set, bound in raiment worthy of it. Clain-Stefanelli (Numismatics—An Ancient Science) page 24: “one of the most significant names in the field of numismatics in the 17th century [was] Ezechiel Spanheim… His encyclopedic knowledge in history, art, geography, art history—all based on a full mastery of the ancient authors—made him one of the prominent numismatists of his day. His chief publication Dissertatio de praestantia et usu numismatum antiquorum (1664 [first edition]) must certainly be considered the work of a master” Babelon 105: “Ezechiel Spanheim (b. 1629 † 1710) was part of that exceptional group of scholars who came together at Rome under the reign of Queen Christina.” Bassoli 30: “that great work of Ezechiel Spanheim… represent[s] the seventeenth century ‘peak’ of classical numismatics. Spanheim meticulously (and not without digressions) records every image and inscription shown on ancient coins that could be made out.” Hirsch 122. Kress S.2350. Lipsius 376. Ex T. Sharp library, with his diminutive bookplate; ex Phiroze K. Randeria, with his bookplate.

Extremities a bit worn; joints a trifle weak. Finely engraved armorial ex libris William Staunton. Fine set. An important early work on Roman coins, featuring the first printing of Banduri’s landmark 128-page Bibliotheca numaria, by far the best numismatic bibliography up to that time. John Akerman considered the main work to be of “great value” and John Pinkerton emphasized its utility to the student of Byzantine numismatics. A fine, complete set, seldom found with both the frontispiece and the map. Babelon page 113: “His vast work on Imperial coins rendered earlier works on the same series useless.” Bassoli pages 33–34: “Anselmo Banduri…occupies a particular place in numismatic bibliography… He is most remembered…for his great work completed in 1718, Numismata Imperatorum a Trajano Decio ad Palaeologos Augustos. Its introduction, Bibliotheca numaria, was the first full critical text encompassing the entire range of numismatic literature up to and including Banduri’s own period. The Numismata Imperatorum gives a biographical background for every historical character and, better still, points out the importance of numismatics in resolving the inevitable problems of chronology which accompany such a survey… Above all else, the work shows a remarkable vitality.” Brückmann 7. Cicognara 2742. Clain-Stefanelli 3601. Dekesel B28. Hennin 185. Lipsius 20. Strandberg 26. Ex Anders Frösell library (Kolbe & Fanning Sale 117, lot 2003).
