Patin, Charles. HISTORIA DE LAS MEDALLAS, O INTRODUCCION AL CONOCIMIENTO DE ESTA CIENCIA. Madrid: Imprenta de la calle de Barrio-Nuevo, 1771. Con Licencia. 8vo [15 by 10 cm], contemporary full limp vellum; hand-lettered spine. (10), 278, (2) pages; unsigned engraved allegorical frontispiece (“Historia de las Medallas”) after F. Channeau [included in collation]; woodcut headpiece and initial; textual engravings of coins and medals. Lacking front flyleaf; hinges reinforced; binding somewhat discolored; occasional marginal discoloration and faults. Very good or so. The final edition, and apparently the only 18th-century edition. Translated into Spanish by D. Francisco Perez Pastor. Rare: the Dekesels cite only two copies of this edition in the libraries they consulted. Babelon 100. Bassoli 28. Dekesel P53.
