Frederick, Charles - Biography of Francesco Palazzi + (Oxford, Ashmolean Museum, Charles Frederck … Oxford, Ashmolean Museum, Charles Frederck’s papers, B.1, fol. 1r-2v) : biographie de Francesco Palazzi, fils d’un marchand de fruit sur la place de la fontaine de Trevi ; enfant dépravé, il s’enfuit et reçut durant de nombreuses années l’instruction de Francesco de’Ficoroni ; ignorant le latin, il trahit Ficoroni lors de la vente de la colection de monnaies de Pietro Paulo Soccorsi ; il vendit à l’abbé de Camps un médaillon de Marcia Otacilia fabriqué par Cocornier ; ensuite de quoi, il racheta les instruments de faussaires de Cocornier à la mort de celui-ci et couvrit l’Europe de ses faux : « Morso che fù Niccolò de Cocornier detto Palazzi comprò tutti i suoi ordigni da falsificar medaglie, e per mezzo di un certo Raimondo Valenziano, che p(er) molti anni à sempre ritenuto in sua casa, è tanta la quantità di medaglie di ogni metallo e grandezza falsificate, che oramai ne à ripieno l’europa tutta. Ad ogni forestiere capitato in Roma curioso di medaglie sotto mano à tentato di vendere p(er) antiche simili medaglie » ; on trouve des faux de Cocornier à Venise dans les collections du comte Bernardo Manin et le médaillier des Tiepolo, à Lamberg dans la collection comtale ; à Aix, le cabinet de l’intendant Le Bret en est rempli, dont un médaillon bimétallique d’Alexandre Sévère avec un char triomphal tiré par six chevaux ; à Avignon, le père jésuite Chamillart en a un bon nombre (nb : Etienne Chamillard, 1656-1730) ; à Lyon, c’est pitié de voir la collection du père Colonia (nb : 1660-1741) ; à Montpellier, le président Bon en possède plus de 70 (nb : François-Xavier Bon, 1678-1761) ; en Angleterre, feu le duc de Devonshire (nb : 1656-1733) et le comte de Pembroke (nb : 1673-1729) en possèdent aussi, mais ils ont été mis à part ; à Paris, le plus habile à s’en prémunir fut l’abbé de Rothelin (nb : 1691-1744) (Spier & Kagan 2000, p. 65-67).1691-1744) (Spier & Kagan 2000, p. 65-67).)

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'']].'

Ashmole, Elias - The Kings Coynes & Medalls Described + (The bulk of MS 1140 is essentially a list … The bulk of MS 1140 is essentially a list of Roman silver coins, both imperial and Republican (in that order: ff.2r–199v; 200r–299v), written clearly on sheets of paper which have been ruled with top and side margins. (Some further material is appended on different-sized paper at the end of the volume: this is discussed below.) A total of 2087 coins are listed. The listing can be regarded as reasonably accurate for the high empire, but the problems of distinguishing between ‘silver’ and ‘bronze’ for the coins of the late Empire means that we cannot be sure exactly what has been included and what has been omitted. The Latin descriptions of the Republican coins are, unsurprisingly, modelled on Gorlaeus’s Thesaurus, and Ashmole was to use the same model for his catalogue of the Bodleian coins a few years later.In addition, the main list is sometimes annotated in the margin with ‘AV’ or ‘AVR’, the abbreviation for ‘gold’, followed by a weight given in pennyweights and grains, and these weights generally correspond to the norm for relevant gold coins. Presumably, when Ashmole found a gold coin with the same description as a silver coin (inscription and design), he just made an annotation in the margin, to save the time of rewriting the description. However, as we shall see, other gold coins were also listed elsewhere.The catalogue of imperial silver coins is divided into 25 sections, numbered thus in the lower left corner of the relevant page. It looks as if these numbers may refer to the different drawers or trays in a cabinet, which would presumably be the cabinet containing imperial silver. If so, each tray contained very different numbers of coins: 100–150 for most of the first 17 trays but then only 20–80 for the last eight. The biggest numbers of coins in a single tray are 149 and 150, suggesting large trays. It must have been a substantial cabinet, physically.For the earlier emperors (Augustus to Trajan) we are normally given two figures at the bottom of the last page describing coins of that emperor. In the lower left, we have ‘Tot.’ followed by a numeral, obviously the total of coins listed in the preceding pages for that emperor. Such ‘total’ figures continue after Trajan until the reign of Clodius Albinus, when they stop. The totals are very helpful, as it is not always easy to isolate every single coin in Ashmole’s lists. Clearly Ashmole eventually tired of adding up the totals. The second set of figures, which appear at the end of the reigns only from Augustus to Trajan, are in the lower right hand corner: a numeral follows a ligature that looks a bit like a joined up 7 and 3, and which must, I think, represent ‘br’, for bronze or brass. Thus, for the earlier reigns, it seems that we are given the totals of bronze, as well as a listing of the silver. We do not, however, get any such quantities of bronze after Trajan, and, once again, it seems that Ashmole must have stopped making the effort. We can see in this way how the character of his cataloguing changed over time. (Burnett 2020b, pp. 340-1)The listing of gold coins in the royal collection was made by Elias Ashmole in 1660, as part of his ‘discription’ of the royal collection. ...The relevant manuscript pages are included at the end of the volume, the bulk of which consists of a catalogue of his Roman silver coins, and they seem to have been added on another occasion. The pages list Greek, Roman, Modern and miscellaneous coins:*ff.301–12 include 72 various gold coins and medals, ranging from large gold pieces of the Roman emperor Antoninus Pius and a gold copy of a Pisanello medal to modern English and continental pieces, including pieces of Cromwell and Francis Bacon. It includes seven ‘Arabick’ coins. The modern pieces make up the bulk of these pieces, and include coins of Charles II, and coins dated 1608, 1628, 1629, 1633, 1643, 1648, 1656, 1660 and 1662. *f.301 is entitled ‘First Drawer’, and f.305 ‘2. Drawer’. The first drawer (ff.301–3) contained 19 mostly very large pieces. F.301 is also numbered ‘1)’ in the top l. hand corner, and f.302 is also numbered ‘2)’, but f.303 is not numbered. F.304 is blank. The second drawer (ff.305–12) had 53 smaller coins. As with the first drawer, f.305 is also numbered ‘1)’; f.306 is not numbered; ff. 307–8 are numbered ‘2)’ and ‘3)’; ff.309–10 are not numbered, and f.311 is ‘3)’. *f.313r: Eight ‘Consular Brass Coynes’ (various Republican bronzes with moneyers’ names; 1 C Clovi Praef.). *f.313v: Seven ‘Incerta’, all ‘AE’ (5 anonymous Republican bronze coins; 2 Invicta Roma XL bronzes). *f.314: blank. *f.315–18: 41 various Greek gold coins, several of Alexander (ff.315–16 labelled ‘1)’ and ‘2)’). *f.319–20: 14 Byzantine coins; 1 ‘tres figurae that in the middle laying his hands upon the heads of the other two’; and 1 Frederick II Augustalis. *f.321–2: blank. *f.323-6v: 54 Roman gold coins, from Augustus to the Byzantine period. *f.327: Latin descriptions of 20 of the same Greek gold coins listed on ff.315–18, plus 1 John Palaeologus. *f.328: blank. *f.329–34v: 127 Roman gold coins, from Julius Caesar to the Byzantine period; plus (f.334v) 1 gold coin of Elagabalus inscribed 'ΙΔΡCCVΛΛCΔ....’ (ff.329–31 are additionally labelled ‘1)’ to ‘3)’). *f.335: a summary list, by ‘Drawer’. This is a list of the totals of the gold coins. *f.336: blank. *f.337: ‘Incerta’. Includes a coin of Cunobelin. *f.338: Nine Republican gold coins. These are all false, and are not included as annotations to the main silver list. *f.339r–v: ‘Antique medalls in Goulde’, etc. (Burnett 2020b, p. 1430)and are not included as annotations to the main silver list. *f.339r–v: ‘Antique medalls in Goulde’, etc. (Burnett 2020b, p. 1430))
Ashmole, Elias - Familiarum Illustrium Imperatorumq’ Romanorum Numismata Oxoniae in Bodleianae Bibliothecae Archivis Descripta, Explanata, atq’ in Tria Volumina Digesta + (The formal presentation copy [of Ashmole's … The formal presentation copy [of Ashmole's catalogue of Roman coins in Oxford], which was presented to the Bodleian in 1668, but transferred to the Ashmolean in 1920 (Arch. Bodl. Fols.1–3)when many other numismatic papers were transferred to the museum. It is in three volumes. As it was originally in the Bodleian with the coins, it had become the working copy of the librarians, and was annotated with later additions, down to c. 1710. ... two sorts of additional information were added. One was the location of the coins, with a reference in the margin in the form ‘Loc. 14. (XI)’; ‘Loc’ stands for loculus, and the reference is to the place of the coin in each coin tray or drawer in the relevant cabinet. The coins were also individually numbered, and, over time, additional acquisitions were added, leading consequently to the renumbering of the coins. The changes made to Arch. Bodl. Fols. 1–3 show that they continued in use for new acquisitions until the early 18th century. We can date their last use fairly accurately, from three pointers. They include a coin donated by Andrew Fountaine (Vol. 1, f.84v). A coin was also added with only a red ink number (the third and last renumbering) with a reference to ‘Vaillant Famil. p. 272 Vol. 2’ (Vol. 1, f.78v), referring to the copy of Jean Vaillant’s ''Nummi antiqui familiarum Romanarum ... illustrati'', published in 1703. The third and last attempt to renumber the coins in red ink extended through all of volume 1 and reached f.80 of volume 2: and at exactly that point was placed, as a marker, a page from the ''Female Tatler'' (!), dated 28 November 1709. Thus, c. 1709 is the date until which it was used, and the annotations were made largely by Thomas Hearne, who had been appointed to the Bodleian in 1701.'

Catalogue of the coin collection of James Sutherland + (The manuscript catalogue of the collection … The manuscript catalogue of the collection of James Sutherland still survives in the National Museum of Scotland. It is in a very fragmentary state, and not all the details are clear. It consists of two volumes, with closely written coin descriptions. The two volumes reflect the original arrangement of the collection. Each includes a series of numerals, the principal ones being Roman I–XIX in the first volume, and I–IX in the second volume. Each volume probably refers to a cabinet, divided then into 19 and 9 tray numbers, respectively. The numbers for each tray (a ‘broad’), are then followed by two series of other numbers, presumably representing a row (a ‘line’), and then individual coin spaces (‘holes’). The number of rows varies according to the size of the coins: silver denarii were kept in trays with 11 rows to each tray, each row with 13 coins, this making large trays with 143 coins. The later, larger silver or radiates, were kept in trays with 11 rows; the bronzes in trays with 8 rows; and other sizes also occur for the British coins (9 rows of 9 coins, or 12 rows of 12 coins).The catalogue is not dated. The reference to Patin’s book of 1683 [''recte'' 1663] for the Republican coins gives a formal terminus post quem; that Sutherland did not use J. Foy-Vaillant, ''Nummi antiqui familiarum romanarum, perpetuis interpretationibus illustrati'' (Amsterdam, 1703) suggests a terminus ante quem of 1703. One of the British gold coins is dated 1701, and there is a Dutch coin dated HOLLANDIA 1702, so the catalogue was probably written in c. 1702.=== Volume 1 ===The catalogue starts with a list of Roman Republican silver coins: ‘Familiae Romanae a Nummis quos vulgo Consulares vocant, secundum Patinis Editionem Fulvij Ursini’ [Roman families from coins which they commonly call consular, according to Patin’s edition of Fulvio Orsini]. These comprise trays I–II (part), and occupy 11.5 pages. Although the catalogue is in poor condition, we can be confident that it is all there since the first page has the title, and the first family is the same (Accoleia) as would appear in the abbreviated version of the catalogue of the Republican coins which Alexander Gordon published in 1726. There are 218 Republican coins, plus a denarius of Juba.The Republican coins are followed by 26 pages devoted to ‘Numismata Argentea Imperatorum Romanorum’ [silver coins of the Roman emperors], from Caesar to the mid-third century, and they comprise trays II (part) to VII.5 [fn: These divisions are mine, not Sutherland’s, are intended to convey the shape of his collection. In what follows, the numbers should be regarded as approximate, as it is not always easy to tell exactly how many coins are listed]138 Caesar to Domitian 285 Nerva to Commodus 138 Julianus to Volusian 46 Valerian to Carausius 27 Constantine to Justinian: mostly western mint marks (20).The list of 634 coins includes some rarities, such as Didius Julianus and Orbiana, but it is not a complete listing of emperors and their families (e.g., no Balbinus or Aemilian). The large number of late first and early second century coins is suggestive of a hoard, and the same conclusion could be drawn from the predominantly western mint marks on the late Roman siliquae, indicative of a British hoard. Selection has clearly been at work, however, since there are only nine coins of Elagabalus compared with seven for the various women of his family. One curiosity is a coin of ‘Horace’, listed under Augustus, a modern piece.The next section starts with tray VIII, and continues to XIV, catalogued over 18 pages. The trays have rows of 8 coins, reflecting the generally larger size of the coins. There is no heading, but its contents show that it concerns ancient bronze coins, as one would expect next in the sequence. It starts with a few Greek (only eight pieces); then a single Republican bronze coin, followed by a forgery of Caesar, before the main imperial sequence starts:8 Greek 1 Roman Republican 1 Julius Caesar, false 64 Augustus to Domitian, including one Nero from Alexandria, and three false Othos 90 Nerva to Commodus, including one Greek Antinous 46 Severus to Volusian, including two provincial coins of Gordian III (Istrus, Perinthus) 48 Gallienus to Numerian, including a supposed Domitius Domitian. 117 Diocletian to Julian, including three Carausius and three Allectus. Mostly western mint marks (London, Trier) 16 Valentinian I to Theodosius 6 ByzantineMany of these 271 coins were worn, and Sutherland was unable to read the legends fully; on one occasion he wrote ‘sequuntur sex Antonin Pij Nummi adeo detriti ut explicari nequeant’ [six coins of Antoninus Pius follow, so worn that they cannot be explained]. Their poor condition suggests site finds, no doubt British. Some were clearly from further away (the Greek, Roman provincial and Byzantine coins).The next section is entitled ‘Gold Medals’ and covers three pages. It starts again at tray I, continuing to III, and describes large gold coins. The coins are at first numbered in a sequence from 1 to 81, starting with a forgery of Nero, the medal of John, Duke of Albany, and then a further 79 English and Scottish pieces down to Charles I; they are followed by a miscellaneous group of 17 coins: Charles II (3); William III, dated 1701; Anglo-Gallic (1), Papal (1), ‘the three next small Pieces are Russia coyn with Sclavonian characters’; ‘the seven pieces following are East India Coyn’; and Henry, King of France (1).The large gold coins are followed by a page devoted to 22 smaller Roman and Byzantine gold coins, still in tray III. There are 14 aurei from Augustus to Hadrian; six solidi from Valentinian I to Honorius; and finally two solidi, one each of Majorian and Anastasius.After the gold coins come three pages for the Scottish silver, continuing tray [XVI], and including XVII–XVIII, and describing 149 coins, down to Francis and Mary, dated 1559.The remaining ten pages of the first volume of the catalogue start the English coins. Four pages, beginning with tray XV, describe coins from Coenwulf to Henry I (81 coins: 9 rows of 9 coins), and XVI, Henry I to Edward (144 coins: 12 rows of 12 coins). The next two pages have no tray or row numbers, and describe a curious mixture of about 106 poorly preserved British and continental coins, followed by a mention of another 28 coins.The numbering then has XVIII, 9, resuming the sequence from a few pages before, after the interruption of the gold and Scottish coins. Four pages cover the rest of XVIII and XIX, listing 127 coins down to William and Mary, followed by a few miscellaneous pieces including a ‘Cedar Tree’ shilling of New England.80 English and Scottish gold 149 Scottish silver 352 English 106 Miscellaneous medieval === Volume 2 ===The second volume is in rather better condition than the first, and describes fewer coins, over 17 pages. However, they are not well-ordered and it is hard to follow. One gets the sense of a large number of unsorted coins, roughly put into groups, but not properly sorted like the coins in the Volume 1.The coins are listed in trays I to IX. They begin with Henry VIII to the Commonwealth (35), New England (3), French (43); and then 482 miscellaneous coins and medals from Germany, Poland, Venice, Papal (22), Scottish, ‘Exotick’, and elsewhere, not well sorted.These include:"The Three next Pieces are filled wth Arabick and other Strange Characters ... The nineteen Pieces following, of different sizes and weight, are the Mogul’s Coyn with his country characters on both sides The five next Rude thick round Pieces belong to Japan The eighteen small oval Pieces in the two holes following are Muscovia Coyn. A figure on horseback, on one side, and Sclavonian Characters on the other. The seven following unshapely pieces I suppose to be Polish Coyn The next twenty Pieces are Turkysh Coyn wth Arabic Characters The seven next Pieces, all in one hole, are Exotick Pieces very Rude and course, hard to be known. ... Three Pieces of China, of a Kind of Pewter, wth strange Characters. The currant Money of that Place, brought me from that Country 1353 The ten following are very Exotick, wth Arabick and other strange Characters, of Copper."The volume ends with a number of loose sheets which represent another version of the catalogue, starting with the English Anglo-Saxon coins (four pages). Then there are two pages, on either side of a piece of paper in very poor condition of Greek coins, not included earlier. The first has 15 pieces; the second starts with ‘Nummi Judaici’, and then lists out an uncertain number (perhaps 10–20). They are followed by another six pages, listing many continental coins and medals (and a group of seals and rings), some of which seem to repeat earlier entries.
