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).
