Spain & Portugal. Heiss, A. Descripcion general de las monedas hispano-cristianas desde la invasion de los Árabes. Complete in three volumes. Madrid; R. N. Milagro 1865–1869. 4to., pp. xi, (5), 433, (3); (4), 502; 298, (2); 202 finely engraved plates, two additional folding plates, with a further 10 unnumbered plates throughout the text. All three volumes attractively bound in half vellum and marbled boards, red morocco title labels, lettered in gilt, the spines elaborately decorated in gilt. The boards rubbed and a little worn and dusty at the extremities, the contents lightly browned with a few spots but mostly clean. A very good, original set of this monumental work, still much used and very rarely offered. (3)
