[NUMISMATICS]. A lot comprising two study copies: Jacopo Strada's Epitome Thesauri Antiquitatum and Thomas Herbert's Numismata antiqua.
An interesting group of two works devoted to ancient numismatics. Thomas Herbert's work is one of the most important numismatic repertories of the early eighteenth century, illustrating hundreds of Greek and Roman coins from his celebrated collection, which was sold by Sotheby's in the summer of 1848. Strada's work, dedicated to the banker and collector Jakob Fugger, is the first Latin edition of his repertory of portraits of Western emperors from Caesar to Charles V, comprising approximately 400 illustrations.

[London], 1746. 3 (of 4) parts in one volume, 4to (200 × 180 mm). 3 engraved title-pages, one for each part, and 264 (of 267) engraved plates, without the index, as follows: Part I with general title-page and plates 1-38 (lacking plate 12); Part II with one unnumbered plate, title-page numbered as plate 1, and plates 2-98 (lacking plate 89); Part III with title-page numbered as plate 1 and plates 2-129 (lacking plate 117). Nineteenth-century English binding with leather spine (boards detached, defects and scratches). [IN LOT WITH:] STRADA, Jacopo (1507-1588).
