About This Item

(vi), 158 (verso blank). Set in double columns and paginated 1-314.

HARDCOVER, bound in contemporary full laced case vellum, spine gilt, small paper restoration to first paste-down, all edges dyed aquamarine. Uniformly browned due to paper quality, else a fine copy. ~ Goltzius (Venlo 1526 - Bruges 1583) sketched the contents of over a thousand collections of coins, developing his drawings into a series of thematic and biographical studies in ancient history. His work laid the groundwork for the systematic study of numismatics. His publishing career began in 1557, with the publication of Vivae Imagines, and ended in 1579, when he published the first edition of the "Thesaurus rei antiquariae Huberrimus". Much of his work, however, was left unpublished, and it was Jacob de Bie of Antwerp who gathered and published it, including the present edition of the "Thesaurus". Lipsius 152. Brunet II, p. 1653. Not in Simoni. B-3
