In need of restoration, but an untrimmed and attractive copy deserving of such treatment. Ex ANS Library, with their bookplate. The best edition of this important treatise, by far the most important work on the topic up to that time.

Salinas, Antonio. LE MONETE DELLE ANTICHE CITTÀ DI SICILIA DESCRITTE E ILLUSTRATE. Palermo: Francesco Lao, 1867. Folio, somewhat later red half calf; spine with four raised bands, ruled and lettered in gilt; black morocco spine labels, gilt; red marker; original 1872-dated printed front card cover bound in. xvi, 5–52 pages; 19 engraved plates. Last two text leaves badly stained and repaired at margins. Binding a bit Cracked. Good. The rare and important original printing of this fundamental work on Sicilian numismatics. Babelon discusses the unusual publication history of this volume in the Traité (as translated by Elizabeth Saville: “Antonio Salinas, Keeper of the Museo di Palermo, concentrated his research on the coins of Sicily. ... Having taken the lead of the movement in Sicilian numismatics in which Abbé Ugdulena, Giuseppe Romano, and Giovanni Fraccia, of Palermo, were also involved, Salinas had the idea of replacing Torremuzza’s old work and putting together a new general compendium of Sicilian coins. The care with which the plates were engraved, and the knowledge the author demonstrated, makes the prolonged suspension of this great project most regrettable”). Babelon wrote at a time (1901) when only the present volume (fascicles 1 to 7, with 19 plates) had been published. It took until 1922 for the project so ably begun by Salinas to be even partially completed, with the publication of additional (if incomplete) fascicles and plates. Among other things, Salinas’s work included the first description of the Aitna tetradrachm. This original edition is very rarely offered. Clain-Stefanelli 2203*. Daehn 2974.

Folio, original publisher’s tan cloth case, lettered in brown; contents loose. (4), (2), xix, (1) pages; 114 very fine plates of coins depicting 4671 coins. Case a bit worn, with flaps loose or lacking; contents fine. A magnificent production and the author’s most important work. Svoronos had secured the collaboration of many of the principal numismatists of the day in order to “publish in full and according to a scientific ranking the rich treasure, largely unreported, contained in public and private collections around the world, by the efforts of a single generation of collectors.” He researched the holdings of some sixty public and private collections over a period of several years. After his death, the work was brought to publication by Behrend Pick and issued in six fascicules at a total price of 120 Swiss francs. Clain-Stefanelli 2524*. Daehn 4122. Grierson 61. Kroh 36 (four stars) and page 37 (five stars): “This is indubitably the most useful reference on Athenian coins ever published as it includes illustrations (from casts) of every coin known (usually with their weights in grammes) that was in all known public or private collections at the time, from ‘owls’ through the Imperial period. ... There were only 500 copies of the originals printed and they are extremely rare and virtually unobtainable. ... Essential!”

Spine worn, with boards starting to come loose though still attached. Very good. An elusive work by the prolific Vaillant. The only edition of the first book devoted solely to the ancient coins of the Ptolemies in Egypt.

Among the scarcest of Vaillant’s major works. The plates are particularly attractive. Jean Foy Vaillant is considered to be the outstanding numismatic scholar of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth century, not only in France but throughout Europe. He traveled widely in search of unpublished ancient coins and medals for the royal numismatic collection under Colbert to Italy (no fewer than twelve times), Greece, Holland, England and, later in life, to Egypt and Persia.

Lutetiæ Parisiorum (Paris): Sumptibus Montalant, Bibpolæ, ad Ripam P P. Augustinianorum, prope Pontem Sancti Michaëlis, 1718. First edition. Two volumes. Folio [38.5 by 28 cm], late eighteenth-century speckled brown full calf; black leather spine labels, gilt; marbled endpapers; red page edges; sides paneled in blind. Superbly engraved allegorical frontispiece; (48), cxxvi, (2), 544, (108); (14), 777, (39) pages; engraved title vignettes; finely engraved dedication vignettes; engraved initials; finely engraved double-page map; numerous coin engravings in the text, many full-page, including 46 plates. 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.

Mediolani (Milan): ex ædibus Societatis Palatinæ, Superiorim permissu, 1730. Folio [40.5 by 26 cm], later light brown mottled boards; early hand-lettered spine label skillfully applied to spine. (14), 624 pages; title printed in red and black with a fine medallion engraving; superbly engraved oval portrait plate of Mediobarbi; woodcut initials; 235 very fine engravings of Roman portrait coins in the text. Lacking some prelims, including frontispiece and engraved dédicace; main text complete. Opening leaves a bit tattered; barring occasional spotting, bulk of text is rather near fine. This 1730 issue, expanded by Filippo Argelati, is the best edition of Occo’s landmark work. Adolph Occo (1524–1606), was a German doctor and humanist from Augsburg whose work in the field of Roman numismatics is acknowledged as a major factor in the early development of numismatics as a science. Imperatorum romanorum numismata is particularly important as it abandons the grouping of Roman coins by metal and adopts, instead, a chronological classification. Cunnally observes that Occo’s Numismata served as a model for the great nineteenth-century catalogues of Roman imperial coins written by Theodore-Edme Mionnet and Henry Cohen, “a lineage that culminates in the Roman Imperial Coinage begun by Mattingly and Sydenham in 1923.” While paying tribute to his numismatic prowess, Babelon observes that “the eccentric doctor Adolphus Occo of Augsburg (1524–1606)” was “an advocate of the use of rhubarb, who declared that his conscience would not permit him to accept the change to the Gregorian calendar.” Babelon 78–79.
