[Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale] Babelon, Ernest. Catalogue des Monnaies Grecques de la Bibliothèque Nationale. Les Rois de Syrie d’Arménie et de Commagène. Paris 1890. Large 8vo (19x27.5cm), quarter green imitation leather binding, marbled boards, spine label; CCXXII + 268 pages, 32 plates in stiff paper. Very Good.

CS 2850, Daehn 5234, Kroh p. 42.

A note from BCD: It is hard to single out one aspect as the best part of this book. The historical outlines are detailed without being boring and the coin descriptions accurate enough to make the drawback of some dark photos less significant. The genealogic tree of the Seleucids and the indexes are a great help to the non-specialist and the book as a whole a real pleasure to read.
