Courten, William - Numismata aurea a Julio Caesare ad Heraclium ex musaeo Carolj Croii Ducis Arschotanj a Joanne Hemelario Explicata Antuerpiae apud Petrum et Joannem Belleros Ao MDCXXVII +
'This item gives the title and publication details of the Duke of Arschot’s collection; ‘Numismata aurea a Julio Caesare ad Heraclium ex musaeo Carolj Croii Ducis Arschotanj a Joanne Hemelario Explicata Antuerpiae apud Petrum et Joannem Belleros A<sup>o</sup> MDCXXVII’, and then lists out nos. 142, 146, 160, 183, 19, 194 and 204, but no reason is given (could they have been acquired by Courten?)'

Courten, William - Remarques of Medls. How to know the true from the false - London, British Library - Sloane MS 3962, f.6 +
'One other set of notes is entitled ‘Remarques of Med<sup>ls</sup>. How to know the true from the false,’ subsequently written in Italian. This does not, of course, mean they are derived from any book, although they recall the discussion of forgeries in Enea Vico’s ''Discorsi''. As Courten does not give any source, they may well represent his own views. The notes cover topics such as how to recognise the ancient from the modern, how to recognise a fake patina, how forgeries would be made in bronze, how to tell an ancient die from a modern one, or how to assess the corrosion products.'

D'Ewes, Simonds - Familiae quae mihi desunt aut numi illi qui mihi desunt in diversis Familijs +
'''Familiae quae mihi desunt aut numi illi qui mihi desunt in diversis Familijs'' [Families which I lack or those coins from various Families which I lack]. The list of families and coins missing from the D’Ewes collection is in two parts: (a) ''Familiae quae mihi omnino desunt'', a list of families which were altogether missing from D’Ewes’s collection, for which he filled out the details; and (b) ''Numi qui mihi desunt in diversis familijs'', a list of the various families from which D’Ewes’s collection was missing some varieties; only the first entry was ever included in this list.'

D'Ewes, Simonds - Imperatores Caesares et Augustae post Heraclium +
'Imperatores Caesares et Augustae post Heraclium. A short list of four solidi (with an additional sketch of a bronze follis) that starts with Heraclius Constantine, Heraclius Constans and Justinian II and ends with a coin of Anastasius II Artemius (AD 713–15). Interestingly, the last is accompanied by two references, to ‘Octavius de Strada in Vitis Caesarum pag. 280. Levini Hulsij Numismata p. 206’, presumably thus reflecting its rarity.'

(BL, Harley MS 255, f.25r; transcription from Burnett 2020b, pp. 1463-4) [In the Treatise concerning English Coins, not by William Laud the Archbishop of Canterbury as he himself states in the letter which he sent to Oxford University: Regarding the [treatise of the] coins in the public Library at Oxford which was organised in series through the work and effort of John Barkham I can hardly be sufficiently astonished that he sometimes made such stupid errors, and that sometimes he had so many discrepancies, all with strange mistakes and details, and incompatible with a proper order. Under the heading ‘Byzantium’ he places coins of Constantine the Great, Leo and Theophilus. And Roman emperors. He places ordinary coins of Trajan and other emperors, which in no way refer to the affairs or name of Britain, among those of the Britons. He placed many barbarous and uncertain coins among the (and as if they were) British, on which not even a single trace of the elements could be found at all. Among British cities he catalogues bronze coins of Constantine the Great, Licinius I and others on which PLON or PLN were engraved on the reverse as perhaps having been struck in Rome, or not as etc. And the silver coins struck at York under the Anglo- Saxons or in about the time of William I. He puts a coin of the other Edward in place of the Confessor. He refers a coin of King William I to William [II?] and mentions two sceptres for a cross and sceptre. The triangular shape on the coinage of King John he records as indicating the three kingdoms, although held only England with the title of King, although I would say that Ireland (of which he was styled only Lord) was his other kingdom. A coin of Henry V sitting on a throne and leaning with his feet on a hanging latticed gate he wrongly refers to Henry V, since that type of gate had been usurped either as badge or the symbol by the illegitimate sons of John of Gaunt the Duke of Lancaster and their descendants (among whom King Henry VII held the principal position). He attributes wrongly and carelessly to King Edward I a coin of King Edward IV, with a rose placed in the middle of a sun emitting rays, which was the symbol of the family of York and from which the pennies and shillings struck with his own rose in the time of Edward III his great-grandfather can be distinguished. Under Queen Mary he places coins of Philip the King of the Spains before he had yet married her and which refer to the Spains and Portugal; just as under King James I of the same power he wrongly attributes the coin of Mary the mother of the same to the Queen of Scotland.] (translation from Burnett 2020b, p. 1464)

'A summary list of the whole collection, giving the total for each emperor or person by metal. Many additions and alterations were made, especially for the Julio-Claudian period, thereby making it very difficult to see what the totals originally should have been.'

D'Ewes, Simonds - Notes for plates of Theatrum Numaria Romanum +
'The main text on this page is the list of coins of Macrinus, but, upside down, we find that D’Ewes has added, in his own handwriting, a list of rulers under several headings (with totals that have been altered several times): Tabula 9<br> Hadrianus 11 <br> Sabina 1 <br> L. Aelius 5 <br> Antoninus Pius 7<br> Tabula 10<br> Antoninus Pius 13 <br> Faustina Maior 6 <br> Antoninus 5 <br> (Philosophus)<br> Tabula 11<br> Antoninus<br> (Philosophus) 7 <br> Faustina Minor 2 <br> L.

Each of the lists for plates 9–11 has 24 coins, suggesting that the volume as a whole would have been illustrated with a total of 288 coins (12 x 24). If so, it would have been the most heavily illustrated book on Roman coins ever to have been published in England, with no parallel until the 18th century.' (Burnett 2020b, pp. 531-2)  +

'Tres generis humani in re numaria pestes, those that cast coynes those that do by theire art adulterate the true antient coynes of Common Emperors & Common reverses by working out some letters & some figures & making them to be rare coynes as of Otho Helvius Pertinax &c.

F.131 has only the deleted title ‘<s>Nummi Britannici</s>’, but f.132r has descriptions of seven ancient British coins, also deleted with two big crosses, which can be deciphered as follows:<br /><br />[in D’Ewes’s hand:]<br><br />[1] AV COM F in corona ex oliva (Regis ni fallor Comij ex auro etsi vilissimo Numus) <br><br />EPPILLVS in ambitu supra figuram. Eques decurrens et pone equo insidentis tergum sex chartis radiorum sine punctorum stella ///tre caelata [Gold. COM F in wreath of olive (a coin of King Commius unless I am mistaken, of gold, though very base. EPPILLVS around above the figure. Galloping horseman and behind the back of him sitting on the horse, a star [finely?] engraved with six lines of rays without dots]<br /><br />[2] AV CVNO infra figuram Cunobelini Regis Britannici ex auro vilissimo Numus. Equus decurrens et supra eundem spica<br><br />CAMV (CAMV procul dubio Camulodonum in agro Essexiensi oppidum Maldona tum appellatum). Spica inter quatuor illas literas media. Cusum Camulodoni procul dubio <s>cusus</s> [diff hand] hoc Numisma [Gold. CVNO below the figure. Coin of very base gold of Cunobelin, British King. Horse galloping and, above it, corn ear. CAMV (I very much doubt that Maldon, a town in the county of Essex, was then called Camulodonum). Corn ear in the middle between those four letters. I very much doubt that this coin was struck <s>struck</s> at Camuldonum].<br /><br />[3–5] AV AR eadem inscriptio et figura, et insuper tres globuli primus supra, altera pone et tertia infra equum. Duo sunt cum eisdem lemmate et typis Numi, ex vilissimo auro unus, ex argento alter rarissimus<br />CAMV cum spica ut in praecedenti [Gold, Silver. The same inscription and figure, and on the first three little globes above, on the other behind and on the third below the horse. Two of the coins are with the same inscription and types, one of very base gold, the other a very rare one in silver. CAMV with a corn ear as on the preceding.]<br /><br />[the rest of the entries are in a different hand, like that of BL, Harley MS 255]<br><br />[6] AR CAMVL Caput crinitum Cunobelini, <s>uti videtur</s> procul dubio Regis, \dextera vultus parte adversa/ Camuloduni videtur cusus hic Numus, sub eodem Rege<br><br />Figura stolata sedens infra quam ... ΙΛ... [Silver. CAMVL. Hairy head, <s>as it seems</s> I doubt very much of Cunobelin, on the reverse a face to the right. This coin seems to have been struck at Camulodonum, under the same King. Figure with headress sitting, below which ... ΙΛ ...]<br /><br />[7] AR. VER <s>in corona ex margaritis uti videtur fabricata</s> Verolamij (quod in agro Hertfordiensi minoris iam notae adhuc) prostat cusus Est videtur <s>Numus</s> argenteus sub Casibeleno Britonum Rege<br><br />: ASIA (procul dubio Tasia) <s>Equus decurrens</s> uti apparet ex consimili Numo magis integro in Camden Britannia edito pag. 62 Equus decurrens [Silver. VER <s>in wreath made of pearl, as it seems</s>, means of Verulamium (which is still called this in the county of smaller Hertfordshire. A silver <s>coin</s> piece which was struck, it seems, inder Cassivellaunus King of the Britons. ASIA (I very much doubt it is Tasia), <s>Galloping horse</s>, as it appears from a similar coin, better preserved, in Camden’s Britannia page 62. Galloping horse.]'<br /><br />(BL, Harley MS 593, ff.131-2; Burnett 2020b, p. 517)</nowiki>
