This major new work provides, for the first time, a comprehensive account of the collecting and study of coins in Britain from 1500 to 1750. Many new discoveries have been made such as the existence of a Tudor royal collection, and important scholars and collectors have been identified who are otherwise virtually unknown - James Cole, John Harrison, Simonds D'Ewes, John Marsham and Francis Sambrooke. The development of the university collections at Oxford and Cambridge is also described. This very important new work is divided into 37 chapters, broadly chronological; whilst 73 appendices cover specific topics. The work is completed by a substantial "Register", a catalogue raisonee of all the people who are known to have had an interest in the subject.. OFFERED AT A REDUCED PRICE. |
