Anton Francesco Doni - Paolo Giovio - 8-1548 + (Lettre sans lieu ni date: "Le medaglie, ed … Lettre sans lieu ni date: "Le medaglie, ed altre cose antiche sempre sono state in pregio, e riputate da' moderni per memoria del valor di quelli uomini; onde così, e altrove meritatamente sono avute care. Io conoscendo questo, ho pensato alle volte, come potessi piacere alle persone virtuose, e nobili in qualche modo. E perchè io ho veduto la diversità, che usano gli Antichi, facendone alcune d'oro, altre d'argento, e infinite di bronzo, e trovarsene delle false; m'è venuto desiderio di gettarne parecchie in fogli di carta circa l'antichità della mia patria (con alcune moderne in compagnia) la quale siccome ebbe d'ogni tempo uomini valorosi, e grandi per arme, e per lettere, ed ogni altra professione, così n'ha tuttavia di rari, ed eccellenti. Ancorachè gl'ingegneri nostri s'abbiamo sforzato di continuo venire in supremo grado, però quelli, che viziosi sono stati, hanno avanzato tutti gli altri. Tal che io avendone fatto quattro libri, mi ho ingegnato di tener conto di tutte le cose più notabili, e più degne di memoria, non defraudando la virtù del suo debito onore, nè il vizio del meritato biasimo. Troverete molti altri belli, e curiosi particolari di nobiltà, di studj, e d'artefici: molte origini di famiglie nuove, molte memorie di quelle, che sono spente, e altre cose, che non sono per ogni cronica; e di tutto so, che n'avrete diletto, massimamente quando leggerete l'imprese, e i motti appropriati a ciascuno. Ora ve ne mando il saggio con questa lettera, acciocchè ne veggiate parte, e sappiate, che io non spendo tutto il mio tempo invano" (Bottari 1766 vol. 5, p. 95, lettre XXXV).(Bottari 1766 vol. 5, p. 95, lettre XXXV).)

Père Froelich m’ayant remis les feuilles ci jointes, j’ai saisi cette occasion, pour vous les faire tenir. Au sujet du médaillon d’Auguste et d’Octavie, il est a propos de vous dire, Monsieur, que cette pièce a été très habilement contrefaite à Florence, et la copie vendue pour antique à un Anglais, qui a eu la simplicité d’en donner 25 sequins, et qui de plus en a fait graver l’estampe qu’il vous envoie.[…] Il est très fâcheux et toujours trop tôt, d’annoncer des mauvaises nouvelles. On n’a pu réussir à vous faire accorder les 30 scudi d’augmentation que vous avez souhaités. On ne doute nullement que vous n’en méritiez beaucoup davantage, mais on craint que cette faveur ne tire à conséquence. D’ailleurs, on regarde ici les appointements des Professeurs de Florence, comme un démembrement et une distraction des fonds de l’Academie de Pise, et on s’est fait une régle de n’en pas augmenter l’aliénation. » (Firenze, Biblioteca Marucelliana, BVII, 9, f° 207r – online).

Cet indice n’a été complété que pour la lettre A et poursuivi de façon discontinue, signe certain d'un travail en cours qui ne fut pas terminé pour des raisons à définir. La compilation pour la lettre A est accompagnée d'un numéro, placé dans la première colonne, de 1.17 / 1.18 et suivi à 1.21, référence non expliquée malgré un contrôle méticuleux du copieux ensemble de feuilles éparpillées qui est gardé à la BNCR. Le corpus principal du manuscrit, ordonné par types selon l’ordre alphabétique, s'étend à 202 feuillets avec une numérotation autographiée. À la page 1 (fig. 9), il commence avec Acrostolium Maius, Aegis Minarvae avec Gorgonis capita, Aesculapius Spartolium Macedoniae etc. Dans la préface, l’emploi du terme « rusticanum » permet de déduire que le schéma reste à préciser, que Mandelli ne prétend pas que son texte soit parfait : il vise à proposer au lecteur un parcours, un voyage vers une classification « dignoscenda facilius ». Les mots « antea » et « parte postica » se réfèrent certainement aux droit et revers des monnaies, mots choisis selon la Paléographie de Montfaucon, livre 2 feuillet 1 (p. 122), une formule employée dans la littérature numismatique et les catalogues du XVIIIe s. Feuilleter ce premier manuscrit, ensemble de travaux préparatoires antérieurs, permet d’entrer dans l’itinéraire développé par Mandelli. Ad ea dignoscenda facilius, avec l’index des types et des Numismatum urbium et populorum, on y trouve néanmoins la référence aux répertoires de Gessner et de Combe. Ce qui ressort immédiatement dans ce processus est que les descriptions mènent aux villes / ateliers, suivies tout de suite par la référence à la région historique, les ateliers et les régions historiques étant placées avant le peuple. La partie principale de cette liste-répertoire alphabétique de types vise à l’identification de l’autorité et d’une chronologie, mais surtout de l’atelier et de son emplacement géographique).elier et de son emplacement géographique).)

Je l’ai vue au Sr Coberger qui m’avait une fois promis de m’en accommoder mais puis cela fut rompu. Elle me sert à un petit discours d’anticailles fait de longue main sur cette montagne, avec plusieurs médailles et gravures que j’ai mises ensemble servants à la même matière. M. Rubens pourra faire un peu de recherche chez ses amis pour recouvrer un grand Auguste et un grand Tibère en médailles de cuivre bien conservées, ensemble s’il pouvait avoir quelqu’une de ces femmes Augustes rares comme la Domitilla, Julia Titi, Domitia, Plotina, Matidia et Marciana, pour les employer au Sistre, Miroir, etc. qu’il sait. Mais il faut se hâter pour ce regard pour voir de faire quelque chose tandis que je suis à Paris. Quand Mr Rubens fera graver en taille douce quelqu’une de ses belles pierreries il obligera son serviteur de lui en envoyer quelqu’épreuve, sur l’assurance qu’on lui donne qu’elles ne seront point divulguées, ne pas seulement vues et les empreintes seront encore plus cher de beaucoup quand elles se peuvent recouvrer. On voudrait savoir si Mr Broumans est encore en vie, s’il est encore curieux ou non, et spécialement des poids antiques qu’il avait recueillis. Il faudra saluer Mr Rockox, Mr Gevartius de la part de leur très humble serviteur, et les avertir que j’écrivis à Mr Rockox incontinent après votre arrivée et lui renvoyai une médaille qu’il avait mise dans sa lettre et réécrivit à M. Gevartius quinze jours après tant seulement. J’aurais besoin de l’Auctarium de Golzius pour la Grecia qu’on a imprimé depuis quelques années, sans me charger des autres volumes déjà ci-devant imprimés. Je pense que les marchands qui l’ont fait imprimer ne feront pas difficulté d’en séparer quelque exemplaire car du commencement ils en avaient vendus plusieurs séparés, avant que j’en fusse averti, car je m’en serais pourvu, je rendrai l’argent qu’il coûtera, et en adressant le livre ici chez Mr le Président de Lauson près des enfants rouges on me le rendra sûrement au cas que je ne fusse ici quand il viendra. On voudrait bien savoir au vrai en quoi consistent les livres de Golzius faits à la main que le Sr de Bie avait achetés, quels volumes il y a, s’il y a rien de complet, et quelle espérance il y a qu’on les puisse jamais voir au jour, M. Coberger était saisi d’un volume de toutes les impériales généralement tant grecques que latines on pourrait savoir de lui à Bruxelles s’il l’a encore. Il faudrait savoir aussi dudit Sr Coberger s’il a encore le livre qu’il avait dessiné de sa main de médailles de tout son cabinet ou non” (Carpentras, Bibliothèque et Musée Inguimbert, Manuscrits de Peiresc, LIII, f° 450; Rooses et Ruelens III 1900, no. 336, p. 185-186; Scheller 1978, p. 65, note 107). 185-186; Scheller 1978, p. 65, note 107).)

Aurei mihi antea uno aut altero excepto, ita erant suspecti ut illis locum dumtaxat eousque permiserim, quousqe ipsius vel Gulielmi Moravij Scoti eadem peritia Fittono vix inferioris calculum explorassem.

Imo unicum nostrum Othonis aeneum cum Italiae globo insidentis in reversa parte typo, ita pertinaciter ceu adulterinum improbaverit, ut etsi mihi non omnino persuaserit eundem penitus rejicere, loco tamen suo pulsus, nisi Gulielmi Moravij a Fittone discrepet sententia, restituendus non sit. Ipse autem cui unica chara est veritas, mallem nulla quam larvata me penes esse vetustatis monumenta.' (BL MS Harley 377, ff. 191r-192r; Burnett 2020b, pp. 542, 1191)[Recently I don’t really know if I have suffered a loss or a gain in my Coin Treasury. Peter Fitton came from Paris, he of all men who is, unless I am mistaken, the most skilled in telling apart genuine Roman coinage from ones that have been made recently and are fake. He came to London and visited me, and went through some hundreds of my coins, and by common agreement we removed some 20 gold and a few bronze from my trays. With one or two exceptions the gold ones had been so suspected previously by me that I had allowed them a place there meanwhile, only until I would have been able to seek his judgment or that of the Scot William Murray who is hardly less skilled than Fitton. Among the very large gold coins he banished the one with SEX PIET on the reverse which I had once suggested to you was related to Sextus Pompey; I suffered the greatest despair among my gold coins even though they were few in number; and on a real Claudius the head of Messalina on the reverse with the inscription VALERIA MESSALINA AVG could be seen to be on a recent surface. The very large bronze coin of Julius Caesar had been previously decried by me from the difference of its wreath on the obverse from genuine coins, although it had been held to be undoubted and of enormous value since, when turned over, the coin depicted BRITANNIA S C. On the unique bronze coin of Pompey he said that the head with the inscription CN POMPEIVS MAGNVS had been recently drawn out on a genuine and very ancient coin of some other early Emperor, which crime was the worst of all and could be regarded by everyone as the most aggravating in numismatics. Further he rejected my unique bronze Otho with the type of Italia sitting on a globe on its reverse so definitely as a fake that, although he did not completely persuade me to reject it altogether, it was nevertheless removed from its place, and, unless William Murray dissented from the opinion of Fitton, would not be restored. I myself, for whom truth is the only true pleasure, would prefer that no testaments at all of antiquity are in my collection than phantom ones.'

Isaac Barrow - Abraham Hill - 1658-12-17 + (Pera of Constantinople, Dec. 17 1658 Dear Sir I find myself overcharged with courtesy by a gentleman, whom I had not the happiness formerly to know, but now think myself familiarly acquainted with, at least with the better part of him, his soul, by that glimpse of goodness and ingenuity which you have been pleased to discover unto me; and in all reason I am the more to esteem your kindness, by how much I am conscious how small invitation my desert could afford it: for as to the merits you are pleased to allege, I have so little right to them, that I am far from pretending to any; however I gladly and thankfully embrace your friendship, which I shall always esteem as a great honour; and being other wise unable shall correspond in hearty affection and due observance of it.The news of Mr Stock’s death must indeed of necessity be very ungrateful to me, as it hath plunged me into some streights, and splitt all my designs of future travel, whereof his assistance would have been the main support for the medals I have bought. I am glad they are fallen into my hands, not despairing hereafter to obtain you a sight of them. I have improved that knowledge in them, which that worthy gentleman Mr. Fitton was pleased to impart to me, in which I have made no small progress, not meeting with much matter else to exercise upon, nor indeed much enquiring after any, my slender accommodations not enabling me to purchase any curiosities for myself, had they presented themselves. Mr. Fitton’s paper of the value and rarity of Medals has proved a valuable treasure to me, and enables me to give you an account of some in my possession; amongst them some I can pleasure you with. If you want a Julian II or the Apostate, which is amongst the rarest, I can furnish you; as also with a Tryphon, which is one of the best among the medals of the Greek princes; a Pescennius Niger in silver, with a Latin inscription, is not so good as a Greek one, but I believe more common. I have by me, of brass four hundred, of silver sixty, and three gold; the brassbetterthananyIeveryetmetwith:thegold are very fair medals of Nero, Antoninus Pius, and Hadrianus. Amongst the silver these, viz. Seleucus (the fairest medal that I ever saw), Gordianus, Philippus, Decius, Otacillia Severa, Julia Domna, Marcus Aurelius, Severus, Nerva, Vespasianus, Treb. Gallus, Diadumenianus, Hostilianus, Volusianus, Her. Etruscilla, Adrianus, and other Greek and Latin, all I am confident true.Pray enquire if there ever were Antiochus Euergetes or Demetrius Philadelphus; I have two medals of those inscriptions, but cannot learn that there were any such men. The Pescennius Niger I sent you, make much of, as it is rare. I have found the Hanniballianus which Tristan makes so much of; a small medal of brass, almost the same he represents; also two medals of towns he puts a value upon; viz. that of the Mirinians in silver and of Cossa in gold.By the help of my French friend I know medals throughout, and what to refuse of them; so find few to buy. I send you a note of some medals which (according to my directions) should be good ones; perhaps I have others that are considerable and have overlooked them. I have Antiochus Euergetes and Demetrius Philadelphus, as I have said before; but I perceive they are not on the list; the latter has ΝΙΚΑΤΟΡΟΣ, after Philadelphus. I mention these to assure you that I am not mistaken; and wonder the skilful person you consulted about them never heard of either of them, nor had seen a Pescennius Niger with a Latin inscription. A silver Otho is nothing near the value of a brass one.I know not whether I inserted into the Catalogue of medals I sent you one with this inscription, LIB. BON. EVENT. SCRIBON. PVTEAL. I believe it may be explained by a passage of the thirteenth of the ''Annals'' of Tacitus, towards the latter end --- ''Iisdem consulibus auditae Puteolanorum legationes, &c''.There was a fine silver medal brought me the other day, viz. Nicomedes Epiphanus, the characters Greek. I bought likewise the African Gordian’s, which I think is esteemed a rare one, and half a dozen others of the same metal; amongst them an Antiochus, an Alexander, and a piece, with an owl on one side and a Pallas on the other, in Greek letters Athens on it.I hope now to be untacked from this place, to which by a fatal chain, I seem tied, Prometheus like; and that this day (if the winds and Turks give leave) I shall take my passage for Venice, but touching at Smyrna. From Venice, my intention is, after very small stay, to haste through Holland and Germany into England.I doubt whether I shall see or salute our friends in Italy, though I should be very desirous of the content, that I might have an opportunity more fully of expressing to them my sense of your kindness to me, and to know if in any thing I can be subservient to your virtuous inclinations. In the mean while be pleased to accept of the hearty thanks and earnest good wishes ofYour faithful humble servant Isaac Barrow(Burnett 2020b, pp. 1482-3)gt; humble servant Isaac Barrow (Burnett 2020b, pp. 1482-3))

Futter, Henry - Inscriptions upon the Reverses of Medalls + (Probably the list referred to by Futter in … Probably the list referred to by Futter in a letter to John Marsham, [[Henry Futter - John Marsham - 1665-06-19|19 June 1665]]. 'It is entitled ‘Inscriptions upon the Reverses of Medalls’, and looks very much like Futter’s handwriting. Many of the 123 inscriptions, presumably implying 123 coins, look like the sort of inscriptions one would find on the reverses of imperial denarii or, in some cases, late Roman bronzes (''Spes Republicae, Securitas Reipublicae, Beata Tranquillitas'', etc.), while others are inscriptions from Roman provincial coins. Some of them have been underlined and numbered, and both the numbers and the inscriptions correspond to another, shorter, list in Marsham’s handwriting and annotated ‘In Mr Newman’s note, sent by H. Futter’. This list has 31 coins, starting with one of Cos, but the rest are Roman provincial, the majority (27) coming principally from ancient Syria, Mesopotamia or Judaea. The coins are not further described, but are referred to only by their reverse inscriptions, meaning that precise identifications are not now possible. Thirteen of them, however, were marked with a small horizontal line, as if being of greater interest, and the inscriptions of several of the thirteen match some of the coins included in Marsham’s [[Marsham, John - Numismata quaedam ex musaeo I.M. nondum edita|''nondum edita'']].' (Burnett 2020b, p. 559)- Numismata quaedam ex musaeo I.M. nondum edita|''nondum edita'']].' (Burnett 2020b, p. 559))

Ford also described a coin of Allectus he had seen in Lincoln.
