About This Item
Hamburgi [i.e. Hamburg]: Apud C. Liebezeit et T.C. Felginer, 1719. [8], 248pp. Contemporary vellum, contrasting gilt-tooled morocco lettering-piece. Foot of spine with large (and rather unsightly) split, some marking, text significantly browned and spotted, with some old damp-staining to preliminaries, soiling to signatures K-L. Various later shelf-marks in manuscript (variously pencil and ink) to endpapers. The first separate edition of the first significant critical and inclusive numismatic bibliography. The Bibliotheca nummaria was composed by Dalmatian Benedictine monk and numismatist Anselmo Banduri (1671-1743), and edited by Johann Albert Fabricius. Arranged chronologically, it begins with what was then considered the first work on the subject: Huttichius of Mainz's study of Roman coinage (Strasbourg, 1525), and extends to near contemporary works published in the early eighteenth century. . First edition. Quarto.
