The preface of the first work states that this “may be virtually considered a second edition of my ‘History of the Jewish Coinage’ (1864) embracing as it does nearly all of the original matter contained in that volume, as well as the additional information printed in its ‘Supplement.’ It is further enriched by the critical corrections gained from all papers on the subject that I have been able to obtain, so that the ‘History’... is brought up to the knowledge of the present day.” Clain-Stefanelli 2943.
