Christian Schlegel - Andrew Fountaine - 1701-11-1 + (Translation and notes by Andrew Burnett: [ … Translation and notes by Andrew Burnett: [I was overwhelmed with great joy when the illustrious Mr Leibniz sent me some copies of the English coins, which through your research and efforts have seen the light. Especially so when I was immediately able to recall your charming conversation and friendship which at that time you showed not only to Morel but to which you also admitted me. I would like very much that I could (add?) something to the same from my collection now. But although I am sure that you have everything I will nevertheless ensure that you have those as soon as possible which I perhaps may have as if by chance. But I cannot fail, even here, to add what the wish of His Very Highness my Count (who greets you warmly through me), that is a coin struck for the Duke of Portsmouth, which has the same man in portrait on one side, and on the other a harbour with the inscription ‘intus dulcis aquae’ [inside are sweet waters].6 So if you could make a copy of the same, you will do a very kind and in every way obliging thing for him, even if you sent it a drawing as a model. So farewell, and continue your work as planned and ensure that we can see your Coin Muses quickly. Again farewell.Your special Christian SchlegelArnstadt 1 November 17001]6 ‘Intus aquae dulces’: Vergil, Aeneid I, l. 167, referring to the harbour in Libya reached by Aeneas and his surviving companions after a terrible storm. At this date, however, there was no Duke of Portsmouth, but only a Duchess of Portsmouth, Louise de Kéroualle (1649–1734: see Register), one of King Charles II’s mistresses, who received the title from 1673. No such medal, however, seems to exist, although Schlegel’s description is very specific and apt.

In that letter I hoped to renew my devoted service to you, flattering myself with the thought that you would continue your patronage. I advanced the money to Abbe Severoli, to whom Your Excellency sent me to look at the paintings, but I thought it advisable to take the pictures, since he had a shortage of funds. Among these, following some friends’ advice, I took that picture by Van Dyck that shows the martyrdom of Saint Peter, with many figures of pilgrims who are kissing the statue of him, and since I remembered that you said that you could have it for 30 doppie, I thought it would be good to let you know about it. Although there is someone here who wants it, I will keep it until I receive a response from you.I beg you to send my respects to my most esteemed Mylord and Mr Rapin, of whom I always keep fond memories, and I beg that you pay my respects to the Prince de Ligne. If you happen upon the struck silver coin of Brutus or the other of Lepidus with the name of Sublici, I would be grateful if you sent it to me. I greatly look forward to hearing from you, I remain yours.] (trans. Spier and Kagan).I remain yours.] (trans. Spier and Kagan).)

Joseph Eckhel - Pietro Bastianelli - 1775-8-24 + (Williams 2022, p. 257-258: "A report writt … Williams 2022, p. 257-258: "A report written by Eckhel after Cocchi’s death and attached to a letter addressed to Cocchi’s close collaborator, Pietro Bastianelli (c. 1728–after 1789), provides detailed information on the arrangement carried out.119 The main points can be summarised as follows. The ancient coins were divided into two groups: those minted outside of Rome and those minted in Rome. The material in the first group (that is the Greek and Roman provincial specimens) was arranged geographically starting from Hispania and proceeding clockwise around the Mediterranean Sea down to Africa, regardless of size and metal. The coins minted by the Hellenistic kings were included in the relevant minting regions, and not listed separately, as for example in the geographical arrangement proposed earlier by Pellerin. Groups of coins that were traditionally kept separate, such as specimens featuring heroes and llustrious men, coins minted by the Greek cities under Roman rule, and specimens struck at Alexandria, Egypt, during the Roman Empire were grouped together with the others under the respective mints. If Eckhel and Cocchi both agreed on the geographical order of the Greek coins, they argued about the arrangement of the Roman Imperial specimens.120 In the end, the re-edition of Occo’s work by Francesco Mezzabarba Birago was chosen as the main model.121 Eckhel recognised that the Roman Imperial coins were better organised chronologically than alphabetically according to the legends on the reverse, but believed that Mezzabarba Birago’s arrangement was partly wrong or confusing, like for example in the case of coins minted by an emperor for another family member, or in the case of coins without precise chronological indications, such as those struck during Hadrian’s third consulship. Eckhel criticised the arrangement of many coin cabinets that aimed at celebrating the collector (as was the case for example in Bologna and Rome, as we have seen); in his opinion collections presented in this way were not suitable for the study of antiquity. He considered the new arrangement of the Florentine cabinet to be more instructive than the traditional one, but at the same time not perfect. According to Eckhel, in order to manage the collection and easily find the coins in the cabinets in this new system, the curator needed three accurate additional catalogues: one for the Greek section and two for the Roman part. The Greek coins had to be catalogued also alphabetically with reference to their new location in the drawers, while the Roman coins needed to be listed chronologically according to the arrangement of the coins in the drawers, but also alphabetically, according to reverse legends, so that upon enquiry the pieces could be readily checked without going through all the drawers of a given emperor, especially when new specimens were offered for purchase". new specimens were offered for purchase".)

Zoëga, Georg - Schedae inscriptae: Note e Studij di Numismatica, quarum initum non auctoris manum prodet + (Woytek 2022a, p. 393: During a study visit … Woytek 2022a, p. 393: During a study visit to the Royal Library in Copenhagen in the autumn of 2014, category IV of Zoëga’s papers, dealing with numismatic matters, was critically examined by Daniela Williams and this author. The focus was on section IV.3, which in the library catalogue is somewhat mysteriously referred to as: “Schedae inscriptae: Note e Studij di Numismatica, quarum initium non auctoris manum prodet.” The nucleus of this section is a group of more than 600 unbound pages with closely written manuscript notes mostly in Latin and in black ink, but sometimes also in pencil (fig. 10). These wellused pages – which do not have any kind of title – doubtless form a coherent group; apart from it, other miscellaneous numismatic notes are part of this section as well, for example papers kept in wrappers (in fact, a reused proof-sheet) inscribed “Note e Studij di Numismatica” which gave the entire section its (misleading) name in the catalogue by Koës. The pages of the coherent group that are relevant to our purpose measure c. 21–22.5 cm in height, with a width of c. 16.5–17 cm. Most of them are bifolia, with some single leaves being used as well. Numbering is not straightforward: not single pages or leaves are numbered, but mostly bifolia, in Arabic, in the upper right corner of the first page of each bifolium. However, in some cases unnumbered leaves are additionally inserted, and in others sub-numbers like 50b, 50c, 50d etc. (up to 50l) are introduced. Numbers 1–137 are attested, with nos. 34–43 and some other single ones missing. At the end of the collection, quires with separate numberings like [P1]–P11 and [A]–Δ are to be found, as well as unnumbered pages/quires. See Burnett 2022, p. 420, n° 5ges/quires. See Burnett 2022, p. 420, n° 5)
