Description

Vogt, J. Die alexandrinischen Münzen. Grundlegung einer alexandrinischen Kaisergeschichte. Stuttgart; W. Kohlhammer, 1924. Two volumes in one. 4to., x, 233, (1); iv, 185, (1); 5 plates. In the original black quarter cloth and decorated boards, the top edge red. The preferred, and rarely offered, first edition of this still useful text. Lightly used but fine overall.
Clain-Stefanelli 4540. Grierson p. 84. Kroh p. 53, “The first volume is a running commentary on the issues and types... The second volume makes an attempt at a corpus (by regnal dates) of types published in the catalogues of the day... as well as noting if the types are present in many other unpublished large museum collections. This can be very handy as an index of types (nearly all of wich are represented) and a census of the more rare items, and it has a lot to recommend it... Originals are very rare and infrequently offered.”
