Spanheim, Ezechiel. DISSERTATIONES DE PRÆSTANTIA ET USU NUMISMATUM ANTIQUORUM. EDITIO NOVA. 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.

Imhoof-Blumer, F. GRIECHISCHE MÜNZEN. NEUE BEITRÄGE UND UNTERSUCHUNGEN. München: Aus den Abhandlungen der k. bayer. Akademie der Wiss., 1890. 4to, contemporary blue half morocco; spine with five raised bands, ruled, lettered and decorated in gilt; page edges red. Fine engraved frontispiece of the author; 274 pages; 14 fine plates of coins. Some wear to binding, though still sound and attractive. Near fine or so. Very scarce; remains significant for dates of the Asia Minor city issues, autonomous money and Greek imperial coins. The 1890 work is an update and translation of the 1883 French edition, and includes five plates not in the earlier edition. Percy Gardner summarized Imhoof-Blumer in the obituary he wrote for him in the Numismatic Chronicle: “Mr. J.P. Six of Amsterdam surpassed him in brilliance of conjecture, and Barclay Head in breadth of view, but neither could rival him in extent and accuracy of knowledge. ... I do not suppose that anyone hereafter will carry the whole of Greek coinage in his head as Imhoof-Blumer did” (quoted in Spring, Ancient Coin Auction Catalogues, pages 138–139).

Jean Foy Vaillant (1632–1706), was a scholarly French numismatist and collector of coins who authored a large number of important numismatic works on ancient coins. This handsomely produced 1743 edition of Numismata imperatorum romanorum was revised and edited by J.F. Baldini. Renauldin considers it to be “incomparablement meilleure que la première.” Babelon 99.

Contents generally very good or better. An extraordinary opportunity to acquire the personal copies of the first twelve catalogues issued by one of the foremost numismatists of his age. These catalogues derive from the library of Tom Virzi, who had received them directly from Hirsch. From Virzi, they passed to Bob Myers, from whose library Herb Kreindler acquired them several years ago. Jacob Hirsch (1874–1955) began his career by selling material from the estate of his uncle, Heinrich Hirsch, who had been in the coin business prior to his death in 1886. He quickly earned a reputation for his scholarly cataloguing and extraordinary memory, leading to his assuming at a rather young age a prominent place in the numismatic trade in early 20th-century Europe. The famous series of Ars Classica sales, which began to be issued in 1921 under the Naville et Cie. imprimatur, cemented Hirsch’s reputation for fine cataloguing and rigorous scholarship—a reputation he began to acquire with the present catalogues. These catalogues are the material records of Hirsch’s origins and remain important for provenance research as well. All of these early Hirsch sales are scarce, and several are very rare. These particular copies are of unparalleled importance and are a highlight of the Kreindler library.
