eAuction #51 - Literature sale III, Lot 29. Estimate: CHF 100.00
[Hedervari]
Sestini, Domenico. Descrizione delle
Medaglie Ispane appartenenti alla Lusitania, alla Betica, e alla Tarragonese
che si Conservano nel Museo Hedervariano. Florence 1818. 4to, full tan
leather, brown spine letters; 227 pages, 10 plates of engravings. Covers
slightly sunned, minor stains and foxing to a few pages. Good.
Lipsius p. 130.
A note from BCD: A rare book that will fascinate anyone interested in
the ancient coinage of the Iberian Peninsula. Comparison of the somewhat naïve
and yet delightfully attractive etchings of the plates to today’s photographs
of the corresponding coins may even hold some unexpected surprises for the
specialist. Sestini’s text should also not be dismissed outright under any
circumstances; he was much more knowledgeable and perceptive than most of his
contemporary “numismatists”.
