The E-Sylum:  Volume 6, Number 7, February 16, 2003, Article 8

FRENCH REFERENCE FOUND

  In response to Gar Travis' request, R. W. Julian writes: "I
  have this book; the title page has the author's name as J. B.
  A. A. Barthelemy and it was published at Paris at "A La
  Librairie Encyclopedique de Roret."  There is no date. "

  Hadrien Rambach of Paris writes: "Anatole de Barthelemy
  (= JBAA Barthelemy)
      Nouveau manuel complet de numismatique ancienne
      1 volume of text + 1 volume of plates (i.e. the atlas)
      Fist (rare) edition : Paris 1866
      Second edition : 1890

  The author also wrote a "Manuel de numismatique du
  moyen-âge".

  Your edition is from the 2nd edition, according to the mention
  "membre de l'Institut" (= member of the French Academy).

  Complete sets of two volumes are unusual, but no copy is
  really expensive (the most expensive copy I know (mine!),
  is the text-volume in the first ed. with the ex-librisses of
  Henry Chapman & John W Scott, bound in half  leather)."

  Gar Travis adds: "I came by my copy as a lining in the bottom
  of a metal box with a few coins I purchased from an old
  collection, some years ago. I have just moved into a new office
  and came across it again. I thought about removing the plates
  and having them framed, but common sense may prevail and
  the book may stay together."
