Description

Feuardent, F. COLLECTIONS GIOVANNI DI DEMETRIO. NUMISMATIQUE ÉGYPTE ANCIENNE. PREMIÈRE PARTIE: MONNAIES DES ROIS. DEUXIÈME PARTIE: DOMINATION ROMAINE. Paris: Rollin & Feuardent, 1869 and 1873. Two volumes, complete. 8vo, contemporary matching tan half calf with russet sides; spines with five raised bands, ruled and decorated in gilt; black morocco spine labels, gilt; all page edges red. xxviii, (3)–159, (1); xii, 342, (2) pages; 3625 descriptions; text illustrations; 36 + 1 engraved plates, all but one depicting coins. Both volumes ex Manchester Public Library with labels and stamps; front cover of second volume detached and affixed with tape; blindstamps to plates; still very good or so. An elusive and impressive catalogue, with excellent plates engraved by Masson. The second volume, focusing on the Roman Alexandrine issues, is particularly scarce—this is the first copy we’ve handled since the Kreindler Library sale in 2014. Daehn 6582. Kroh 52.
