Vaillant, Joan. NUMISMATA IMPERATORUM, AUGUSTARUM ET CÆSARUM, A POPULIS, ROMANÆ DITIONIS, GRÆCÈ LOQUENTIBUS, EX OMNI MODULO PERCUSSA: QUIBUS URBIUM NOMINA, DIGNITATES, PRÆROGATIVÆ, SOCIETATES, EPOCHÆ, NUMINA, ILLUSTRES MAGISTRATUS, FESTA, LUDI, CERTAMINA, & ALIA PLURIMA AD EAS SPECTANTIA CONSIGNANTUR. EDITIO ALTERA, AB IPSO AUCTORE RECOGNITA, EMENDATA, SEPTINGENTIS NUMMIS AUCTA; ADDITIS AD QUEMLIBET IMPERATOREM ICONIBUS. CUI ACCESSIT DE NOTIS GRÆCORUM NUMISMATUM LITERALIBUS, ET ALTERA DE NUMERALIBUS EXPLANATIO. Amstelædami: Apud. G. Gallet, 1700. 4to [31.5 by 21.5 cm], contemporary full brown mottled calf; spine with six raised bands, decorated in gilt; tan spine label, gilt; marbled endpapers; all page edges red. (12), 344, 339–364, 4, (2) pages [as issued, complete]; cancellans seen by Dekesel in some copies on d1ro not here noted; 11 plates of engravings [Appendix Iconum]; 7 plates of engravings [Nummorum Appendix], the last two sharing one leaf; plus engravings throughout. Title printed in red and black; engraved headpiece; woodcut headpieces and tailpieces. Binding with light stain to some top edges, and with old boreholes at head and tail; contents with minor browning and occasional discoloration, but generally very good or better. An outstanding achievement and very popular in its day, going through many editions. Significantly, Vaillant cited a source for each coin he included in his enumeration, thus avoiding the trap so commonly encountered at the time of listing apocryphal coins. These citations provide us with information on the holdings of some of the most prominent coin cabinets of the 17th century. This is the second issue of this edition, according to Dekesel, and includes seven plates (the Nummorum Appendix) not present in the first issue. Babelon 99. Brunet V.1027 (29821). Dekesel F162, Issue II (listed in the 18th-century volumes). Lipsius 409. Strandberg 69.
