Leroux, Ernest (1907)
Book Summary
Babelon, Ernest. TRAITÉ DES MONNAIES GRECQUES ET ROMAINES. TROISIÈME PARTIE. PLANCHES I À LXXXV. Paris: Ernest Leroux, 1907. 4to, contemporary black half morocco; spine taped with remnants of original spine laid on; marbled endpapers. (4), iii, (1) pages; 85 very fine phototype plates of coins. Binding worn and rather crudely repaired, but contents near fine with some coin numbers circled and one neatly written note in Newell’s hand. Ex Edward T. Newell Library, with his bookplate and his widow’s label. Of the highest importance. Clain-Stefanelli, in Numismatics--An Ancient Science, heaps praise on Babelon and his many authoritative works on Greek numismatics, calling the Traité “his greatest work.” Sets are infrequently offered, and even individual volumes are scarce. Clain-Stefanelli 1809*. Daehn 19. Grierson 52.
