cloth, dust jacket. Numismatics (illustrator). 4to. cloth, dust jacket. xli, 1,059 pages. First edition. Fine in fine jacket. A new bibliography of numismatic works and works with some numismatic significance. The introduction contains a critical analysis of three standard bibliographies in the field, Brückmann (1729-41), Hirsch (1760), and Lipsius (1801) and concludes that these bibliographies are unreliable, probably partly because the authors often simply copied errors from other bibliographies. Not surprisingly, then, this bibliography lists only books which the author was able to locate and analyze in person. The main part of the book lists 1,148 sixteenth-century works alphabetically, mostly by author's last name. Each work is also ranked by numismatic relevance and assigned to one of six categories, from category 1, "purely numismatic items" down to category 6, "general historical publications with numismatic references."
