pp. [6], lxxvii, [1], 440, 120 (Appendix), [24] + 8 leaves of engraved plates. 8vo. 220 mm. Foxed, but generally clean and tight. Attractive original full leather Philadelphia binding (marble decorated calf) with gilt tooled title label. The plates include: a frontis portrait of George Clymer (1739-1813), a signer of both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution; a small folding plate of The Society's (Prize) Medals; a map of the proposed canal between Seneca Lake and the Susquehanna (at Tioga Point); a plan of a Flax Mill, drawn by Strikland and engraved by Seymour; and other interesting plates of animals and machines. 8vo. 220 mm. Foxed. Hardbound. Very good. Scarce. The Society (founded in 1785) is the oldest such group of its kind anywhere. It's members included some of the best scientific and public figures of the times. They share a growing enthusiasm (in Europe and America) for a more scientific and business approach to agriculture - that would make it more productive and profitable. The diversity of subjects and high level of the discussions is quite remarkable for a nation mired in the War of 1812. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! PA42

Dustjacket is protected in mylar. ; 0.72 x 9.48 x 6.2 Inches; 216 pages; Roman coins often shed light on Roman public life and society through the legends, portraits, and images they bear. The papers collected in this volume were originally presented at the Second E. Togo Salmon Conference on Roman Studies. The eight contributors are specialists in Roman coins or Roman history and in the relations between them. Coins are a unique source of information about the Roman world. In the case of the Roman Empire they were issued by or with the approval of the ruling power. The representations and legends they show therefore present an official view of contemporary affairs. The coins themselves, minted for official purposes such as paying the army, when studied carefully can help reconstruct official policies. They can also occasionally reveal what monuments now lost may have looked like. It is not infrequent to come across pleas that the ancient historian should make more frequent use of numismatic evidence. These essays make clear that efforts are being made both by numismatists and by historians to bring the two disciplines together. At the same time the papers reveal that the task is by no means a straightforward one. The survival of Roman coins is variable, and so attempts to reconstruct the size and distribution of issues calls for skilled and experienced analysis. This collection of papers provides evidence for the kind of deductions that the historian may make from Roman coins as well as the illustrations of the pitfalls that await the unwary. Those interested in Roman history, amateur coin collectors, and professional numismatists will all find much here to widen their knowledge of the public context of Roman coins. Contributors: William E. Metcalf, P. Bruun, Barbara Levick, R. P. Duncan-Jones, Anthony Barrett, Duncan Fishwick, C. E. King, Andrew Burnett.

pp. [4], lxxxviii, [4], 288 + Engraved plate of medals + a powerful engraved plate showing a Vatican church alter with Paul's effigies. Text slightly foxed in places. 4to. 25 cm. Decorative sprinkled edges. Contemporary full vellum binding. A very fine copy, formerly in the collection of Phyllis Goodhart Gordon. This biography and study of Pope Paul II as a collector ans scholar, was written by Michael Canensius (d. 1480). It was prepared for publication and expanded by Cardinal Angelo Maria Quirini. Pope Paul II [Pietro Barbo] was born at Venice. Although he studied for a business career he r eceived an excellent religious education and, at the elevation of his uncle (Eugene IV) to the papacy, entered the Ecclesiastical State. He became Archdeacon of Bologna, Bishop of Cervia and of Vicenz a, and in 1440 Cardinal-deacon. Noted for his generosity and imposing appearance, the Cardinal of Venice, as he was called, was very influential under Eugene IV, Nicholas V, and Calixtus III, less so under Pius II. He became the latter's successor. Paul II delighted in display. He introduced splendid carnival festivities, built the palace of S. Marco (now di Venezia), revised the municipal statute s of Rome, organized relief work among the poor, granted pensions to some Cardinals, and to all the privilege of wearing the red biretta. His suppression in 1466 of the college of abbreviators aroused much opposition, intensified by a similar measure against the Roman Academy. Platina, a member of both organizations, who had been repeatedly imprisoned, retaliated by writing a calumnious biography of Paul II. That Paul II was not opposed to Humanistic studies, as such, is evidenced by the fact that he protected universities, encouraged the art of printing, and was himself a collector of works of ancient art. The pope punished the Fraticelli in the Papal States, prosecuted heretics in France and Germany, decreed in 1470 the observance of the jubilee every twenty-five years, and made an unsuccessful attempt at uniting Russia with the Church. The Turkish question received his earnest attention, particularly after the fall of Negropont (1470). This book documents many of Paul II's bibliographic, typographic, and scholarly works and treasures. Very Scarce. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W113
