Description

Imhoof-Blumer, F. GRIECHISCHE MÜNZEN. NEUE BEITRÄGE UND UNTERSUCHUNGEN. München: Aus den Abhandlungen der k. bayer. Akademie der Wiss., 1890. 4to, later blue cloth; original printed paper covers bound in. 274 pages; 14 fine plates of coins. Fine. A very scarce work, still significant for dates of the Asia Minor city issues, autonomous money and Greek imperial coins. This 1890 edition is an update and translation of the 1883 French edition, and includes five plates not in the earlier edition. Percy Gardner summarized Imhoof-Blumer in the obituary he wrote for him in the Numismatic Chronicle: “Mr. J.P. Six of Amsterdam surpassed him in brilliance of conjecture, and Barclay Head in breadth of view, but neither could rival him in extent and accuracy of knowledge. ... I do not suppose that anyone hereafter will carry the whole of Greek coinage in his head as Imhoof-Blumer did” (quoted in Spring, Ancient Coin Auction Catalogues, pages 138–139). Clain-Stefanelli 1838*. Daehn 107. Grierson 53.
