Babelon 145: "F. de Saulcy (1807–1880) dabbled in every branch of numismatics with characteristic enthusiasm... Saulcy was a man at the vanguard of numismatics, who enthusiastically tackled a subject which was still in its scientific infancy, and did not blush at any mistakes he might make along the way... there is little doubt that his pioneering approach laid the foundations for subsequent work."
