Duvau, Claude Picard - Documents relatifs à l’achat de la collection de Claude Picard Duvau par Michelet d’Ennery +
-Paris, BnF, Méd., Rés. ms. 10009 DUV 3-13. Documents relatifs à l’achat de la collection de Claude Picard Duvau par Michelet d’Ennery, 1750-1764. +
A detailed list of Roman Imperial coins from Postumus to Heraclius. It looks like a fair copy of most of BL, Harley MS 255, ff.61-126 and 136-203. +
'ff.1–22: no title, though the first page has the number 13 in the middle of the top. It is a list of Greek place and regal names, broadly looking like coin inscriptions, sometimes accompanied by a reference to one of Goltzius’s works and sometimes with an identification of the place in question, very much in the tradition of Goltzius’s Thesaurus. There are approximately 420 entries, but they do not all seem to be coin inscriptions since they include some non- existent (on real coins) items like MINTVRENSIVM, ΜΕΛΕΑΓΡΟΣ Rex Macedoniae, ΝΥΜΙΔΙΑ, ΜΥΣΙΑ Η ΚΑΤΩ, ΠΛΑΜΠΥΡΗΝΟΣ and ΠΥΤΕΟΛΗΣ (not an exhaustive list). One or two entries have obviously been squeezed in later, such as SVESSANORM (sic). There are occasional deletions, where duplication has been spotted later (e.g. ΚΟΣΩΝ).
ff.23–24: no title. 23r and 24r are two single pages, one of which (23) has a similar but shorter list of 29 names of places and kings. The second (24) has detailed descriptions of eleven coins, namely nine Greek (6 silver and 3 bronze) and two Byzantine coins of the Emperor Leo VI (886–912). The inscriptions on the nine Greek coins can mostly (or all) be found in the main earlier list, though only about half of them appear in the shorter list.'
(Burnett 2020b, p. 515) +
'ff.25r–26v: no title. A list of families, accompanied by abbreviations for the relevant metals, gold, silver and bronze (AV, AR, AE), written in besides. The abbreviations often have numerals next to them, and only in those cases does it seem that D’Ewes had a specimen. Some of the numbers of specimens have been changed, often illegibly so, in such a way that it is uncertain how many coins D’Ewes had. The list ends with the comment ‘Familiae numerantur <s>164</s> 166, quarum Me penes <s>112</s> 126. Desunt mihi <s>42</s> 40.’ Like the changes to the numerals, this shows that the list was updated on one occasion after its original drafting. The two families which were added were Betiliena and Sertoria, as one can see from the way they have been squeezed into the list.
f.27r: no title. A single page, but with only a few families at the start of the alphabet. Probably the beginning of a neater copy of the above.
ff. 28r–30v: no title. A neater copy of ff.25r-26v. But some of the totals are lower than in that case, suggesting that the former, rather than this neater list, was used as the ‘master-list’ for updating.'

Woytek 2022a, p. 381-384: "Finally, there is an impressive set of three thick manuscript volumes in quarto format in somewhat worn 19th century half-leather bindings with gilt spines and labels stating “EKHELII [sic!] DOCTRINA MANUSCRIPT”, vols. 1, 2 and 3; the lower label of the third volume adds “ET SYLLOGE”. These volumes (nos. 120–122 in the archives: fig. 4) contain densely inscribed pages in Eckhel’s handwriting, numbered by Eckhel himself; however, as in the volumes described previously, generous margins were left (and very frequently used) by the author for additions and corrections. As we will see shortly, the manuscript is not complete. It is evident that the set of manuscript volumes nos. 120–122 in its present state is the result of the decision, taken after Eckhel’s passing, to have Doctrina-related posthumous papers in his hand bound together. Evidently, whoever was responsible for these volumes tried to bind the quires in the order corresponding to the printed work, although some blatant mistakes in the sequence are evident; heterogeneous additions were bound in at the end of volume no. 122... To sum up, manuscript volume no. 120 seems to document (at least) three different stages in the preparation of Eckhel’s manuscript for parts of the first three volumes of the Doctrina. Firstly, the initial draft, which is without any doubt represented by the first, overarching section, whose text is almost entirely crossed out, and most probably also by the long section on the coinage of Asia, numbered 401–640. Secondly, an advanced draft, which was much closer to the final product, but still not perfect: this stage is clearly represented by the pages 1–48 on the Cimmerian Bosporus, Pontus and Paphlagonia, for example (which are also written on paper of a slightly different quality as compared to the major part of the volume). Thirdly, a tiny sample of Eckhel’s fair copy that was handed to the printer and bears the latter’s marks in red chalk – just six leaves of text, two on the island coinage from Ceos to Delus and four on coins of Cilicia, from Anazarbus to Antiochia incerta.
Woytek 2022a, p. 381 and 384: "Finally, there is an impressive set of three thick manuscript volumes in quarto format in somewhat worn 19th century half-leather bindings with gilt spines and labels stating “EKHELII [sic!] DOCTRINA MANUSCRIPT”, vols. 1, 2 and 3; the lower label of the third volume adds “ET SYLLOGE”. These volumes (nos. 120–122 in the archives: fig. 4) contain densely inscribed pages in Eckhel’s handwriting, numbered by Eckhel himself; however, as in the volumes described previously, generous margins were left (and very frequently used) by the author for additions and corrections.

Evidently, whoever was responsible for these volumes tried to bind the quires in the order corresponding to the printed work, although some blatant mistakes in the sequence are evident; heterogeneous additions were bound in at the end of volume no. 122... Apart from the latter, no manuscripts for the Greek section of the Doctrina following the coinage of Side in Pamphylia are preserved. The monumental manuscript no. 121 covers exclusively Roman coins from the Late Republican issues of the triumvir r. p. c. Lepidus down to the late Roman coinage in the name of Helena. Like no. 120, this volume is not numbered sequentially throughout, but again by section, although there are just three of them: the first comprises the coinage of Lepidus and Mark Antony (63 pages), followed by 1380 pages on imperial coins from Julius Caesar to Helena. A separately numbered 40-page section “Supplementa ad numos Augustorum” is bound in after p. 120 of the imperial section. Hence, the text of this manuscript volume corresponds to text printed in volumes 6 to 8 of the Doctrina. More precisely, it starts with Lepidus (p. 34 of the Doctrina’s volume 6) and extends down to the coinage treated on pp. 142–145 of volume 8. The first lines of the first page of manuscript no. 121 make it clear that, again, we are looking at a draft, and not at the final manuscript from which the Doctrina was typeset. Here Eckhel remarks that the coins of, inter alios, Brutus, Cassius and Sextus Pompey, which precede the treatment of the coins of Lepidus in volume 6 of the Doctrina, “are to be taken from the treatise on families” (“sumendi ex tractat. de familiis”) – another reminder of the author to himself, for the preparation of the final manuscript; the “tractatus de familiis” may be identified as the manuscript notebook no. 80 in the archives of the coin cabinet. Despite this, it seems that the text as
we find it in the Roman part of the preserved manuscript is, by and large, relatively close to the text as printed. It is plausible to assume that manuscript no. 121 represents an advanced draft.
Woytek 2022a, p. 381, 384-385: "Finally, there is an impressive set of three thick manuscript volumes in quarto format in somewhat worn 19th century half-leather bindings with gilt spines and labels stating “EKHELII [sic!] DOCTRINA MANUSCRIPT”, vols. 1, 2 and 3; the lower label of the third volume adds “ET SYLLOGE”.

Evidently, whoever was responsible for these volumes tried to bind the quires in the order corresponding to the printed work, although some blatant mistakes in the sequence are evident; heterogeneous additions were bound in at the end of volume no. 122... Manuscript volume no. 122, by contrast, is much more heterogeneous. Like volumes 120–121, it is not numbered continuously, but by section. The text preserved in no. 122 does not directly continue from manuscript no. 121: the draft for the chapter on the coinage from Iovianus to Constantine XIV (= XI) Palaeologus is missing; manuscript no. 122 starts with the chapter “Pseudomoneta” of volume 8 of the Doctrina (pp. 1–64 in Eckhel’s manuscript numbering), after which we find an essay “De tribunicia potestate” (pp. [1]–65), corresponding to chapter 10 of the “Observata generalia” at the end of the same volume. It is followed, after blank leaves, by pp. 41–177 of additions that continue the “Supplementa” section from manuscript no. 121. Manuscript no. 122 further contains proofs of pp. 273–496 of volume 8 of the Doctrina with many corrections in Eckhel’s hand; each quire is marked “Corr. 1.” by him on the last page, indicating that these were the first proofs. As indicated on the spine label, manuscript volume no. 122 is rounded off by the 1786 Sylloge I: not in manuscript form, however, but in the form of printed sheets of the final product (complete with the ten plates), albeit with a very few manuscript additions in Eckhel’s hand (unfortunately cropped by the bookbinder), supplying minor additional references to ancient authors or the secondary literature"
357 pages numbered in Eckhel's hand, followed by 12 blnak leaves; Woytek 2022a, p. 378: "Of minor importance in the present context are the three notebooks in quarto format, nos. 5–7. They have two different types of bindings: nos. 5 and 6 are bound in unassuming orange boards, whereas no. 7 is in a half-leather binding sporting monochrome red marbled paper and a large label on the front board which is, however, left blank. All three notebooks were used by Eckhel for notes and excerpts on miscellaneous antiquarian topics. ... Its companion volume, the bulky notebook no. 5, is dedicated entirely to ancient religion, religious practice and mythology; again, Eckhel here compiled mainly references to ancient primary textual sources and to the contemporary secondary literature". +
124 pages (some of which are left blank) numbered in Eckhel's hand, followed by 12 blank leaves - Woytek 2022a, p. 378: "Of minor importance in the present context are the three notebooks in quarto format, nos. 5–7.

Notebook no. 6 contains a wealth of information – especially bibliographical references – on various aspects of games in the ancient world, on arms and armour, politics, trade, banquets, weights and measures, music, clothing, buildings, funerals, as well as remarks on ancient geography, topography and chronology. +
285 pages numbered in Eckhel's hand and many blank leaves at the end - Woytek 2022a, p. 378-379: "Of minor importance in the present context are the three notebooks in quarto format, nos. 5–7. They have two different types of bindings: nos. 5 and 6 are bound in unassuming orange boards, whereas no. 7 is in a half-leather binding sporting monochrome red marbled paper and a large label on the front board which is, however, left blank. All three notebooks were used by Eckhel for notes and excerpts on miscellaneous antiquarian topics. ... An inspection of notebook no. 7, in the half-leather binding, shows that it covers basically the same topics as notebooks nos. 5 and 6 – mythology, religion and various aspects of everyday life in the ancient world – but contains considerably less information. Evidently, we are dealing with a precursor of notebooks nos. 5 and 6 (bound in orange boards). As his notes grew, Eckhel must have realised that he needed more space, and split the contents of notebook no. 7 in two: from this moment onwards, he kept a separate notebook for ancient religion and mythology, and another for all other topics. Large parts of the text in the original notebook no. 7, especially all the entries pertaining to gods, have systematically been crossed out, doubtless by Eckhel himself: certainly after he had copied the relevant portions into notebooks no. 5 or 6, as random spot checks confirm. That notebook no. 7 belongs to an earlier phase of Eckhel’s activity also ties in well with the fact that it has a different binding than the other two. +
Woytek 2022a, p. 379-380: "Among the momentous manuscript volumes in Eckhel’s hand preserved in Vienna, three books in modest, but durable half-leather bindings, whose boards are covered in 18th century monochrome (red or brown) marbled paper, stand out because of their in-folio format (archives nos. 79–81). Stylistically, their bindings are very similar to that of the quarto notebook no. 7, described above. These three folio notebooks – highly diverse in character between themselves – are dedicated to three different classes of ancient coins. All are characterised by more or less generous right- or left-hand margins left blank for additions and corrections; this is a feature they share with the quarto notebooks nos. 5–7, incidentally. No. 79 contains notes on the autonomous and Roman provincial coinage of cities of the Mediterranean in strictly alphabetical order (from Aba to Zilia), mostly based on the numismatic literature, and to a much lesser extent on collections. Entries for several different cities may be found on the same page, but Eckhel left room between entries that allowed him to add information subsequently, which he did assiduously, evidently over a certain period of time.61 The information contained in this notebook is basic, often not very detailed, and a far cry from what was published in the Doctrina from 1792 onwards. Its concise nature may be exemplified through the first entry, for the city of Aba in Caria (see fig. 2): it comprises only two manuscript lines, with reference to two coins of that city published by Joseph Pellerin in 1767, whereas the passage on Aba in volume 2 of the Doctrina occupies as many as 25 lines of one column of printed text. The second entry of the notebook’s first page, on Abacaenum in Sicily, comprises two later additions in which Eckhel notes specimens of this city viewed by him in the collections of Dominique Magnan (1731–1796) and Abbé Bertrand Capmartin de Chaupy (1720–1798) during his stay in Rome in 1772/1773; other references to the Chaupy collection are to be found in the volume as well. Secondary notes (partly in somewhat darker ink) added gradually to the entries on several cities throughout the manuscript refer to coins published in Eckhel’s Numi veteres anecdoti of 1775. These additions provide definitive termini ante for the start of this large manuscript notebook: when the original entries in volume no. 79 were written, Eckhel did not yet have information on the coins that he saw in Rome in 1772/1773 or that he published in 1775. This dating agrees with a secondary entry that Eckhel inserted for the coinage of Scodra, since it refers to coin images sent to him by his correspondent Giacomo Gradenigo (1721–1796) in the autumn of 1776. Hence, no. 79 must be an early notebook, almost certainly commenced by Eckhel before he left for Italy in August 1772, which he possibly used during his work in Italian collections and which he continued to add to after 1775. The latest terminus that I have been able to determine for the active use of this notebook is the existence of (the manuscript of ?) Eckhel’s Catalogus of the imperial coin collection, published in print in 1779, to which he refers. To the left of most of the city names in this notebook, small crosses were added by Eckhel subsequently – presumably indicating that the information in the respective entry had been used in (or transferred to) another context. Whether the notes in this notebook may be identified as the early “commentarii nulla tum adhuc lege atque ordine” that Eckhel prepared just for himself, as he wrote in 1786, is not sufficiently clear.
Woytek 2022a, p. 379, 380-381: "Among the momentous manuscript volumes in Eckhel’s hand preserved in Vienna, three books in modest, but durable half-leather bindings, whose boards are covered in 18th century monochrome (red or brown) marbled paper, stand out because of their in-folio format (archives nos. 79–81). Stylistically, their bindings are very similar to that of the quarto notebook no. 7, described above. These three folio notebooks – highly diverse in character between themselves – are dedicated to three different classes of ancient coins. All are characterised by more or less generous right- or left-hand margins left blank for additions and corrections; this is a feature they share with the quarto notebooks nos. 5–7, incidentally. ... No. 80 is quite different. It is inscribed "Moneta Romanorum” on the first page, where it also says: “De hac agetur sectionibus binis”; thereafter follows a short general characterisation of these two sections, the most important part of which is a definition of the somewhat ambiguous term “numi consulares”. This notebook, the pages of which are numbered sequentially in Eckhel’s hand (up to p. 239), unlike those of volume no. 79, contains material on various aspects of Roman Republican coinage, to be used for volume 5 of the Doctrina that was to deal with the “numi consulares et familiarum”, as Eckhel put it in 1795. Apart from notes for or drafts of introductory chapters, the volume most importantly contains, on pp. 81–230, a basic draft for the “Catalogus familiarum”: the alphabetic catalogue of pre-imperial Roman coins with personal names, ordered according to gentes. This central part of notebook no. 80 was made immediately accessible by cutting off the lower corners of the pages (fig. 3). It is possible to recognise the draft preserved in Eckhel’s notebook in the final version published in the Doctrina, although, both for the introductory chapters and the discussion of the coinage, the text seems to have been rewritten completely. The text in volume no. 80 is partly crossed out vertically – doubtless by Eckhel himself, exactly as in notebook no. 7 described above, in order to mark content that had been transferred to the final manuscript, when he prepared the latter, rephrasing the original text. For example, the crossed-out text on p. 3 of notebook no. 80, under the headline “De Magistratu A. A. A. F. F. stante republica”, may be seen to have provided the basis for the beginning of chapter V of the Doctrina, entitled “An ad solos IIIviros pertinuerit monetae negotium”.
Woytek 2022a, p. 379 and 381: "Among the momentous manuscript volumes in Eckhel’s hand preserved in Vienna, three books in modest, but durable half-leather bindings, whose boards are covered in 18th century monochrome (red or brown) marbled paper, stand out because of their in-folio format (archives nos. 79–81). Stylistically, their bindings are very similar to that of the quarto notebook no. 7, described above. These three folio notebooks – highly diverse in character between themselves – are dedicated to three different classes of ancient coins. All are characterised by more or less generous right- or left-hand margins left blank for additions and corrections; this is a feature they share with the quarto notebooks nos. 5–7, incidentally. ... The folio notebook no. 81, by contrast, is extremely heterogeneous in content: it comprises an alphabetical listing of Roman emperors, empresses and usurpers, from Achilleus to Zoe (pp. 1–229), whose names were probably not written by Eckhel himself. He made minor notes – mostly giving bibliographical references – underneath some of these underlined headers, but many spots are left blank. This list is followed, on pp. 231–236, by a text and various notes on fake Roman imperial coins that provided the material for the “praefatio” of volume 6 of the Doctrina. Furthermore, the manuscript contains, among other things, a list of questions about coins from international collections that had come up in the course of Eckhel’s work, ordered by the cities or countries where the respective coins were kept (Florence, Paris, Naples, England etc., pp. 244–252), as well as a few pages with excerpts from books on ancient architecture published in the 1760s (pp. 253–255)". +
'I am heartily glad to understand that we are like to have the happiness of seeing your Oration public. The medals are not yet in books. Some have taken them to be so many magistrates of Smyrna; but that they are philosophers and physicians, is luckily a discovery of my own. I hit upon the thought by observing, that Physicians are often cited with the addition of Ἡροφίλος and Ἐρασιςράτειος as by Erotian in voce Στράτων μὲν ὁ Ἐρασιςράτειος, Ζήνων δ' ὁ Ἡροφίλειος. After thisthat there was a school of each according to Strabo, l. xx Διδασκαλεῖον Ἡροφίλεος ἰατρῶν μίγα ὑπὸ Ξεύξιδος καθάπερ ..... ἐν Σμύρνη τὸ τῶν Ἑρασιςρατείων ὑπὸ Ἱκεσίος. Upon this foundation we are at no loss for the explication of the following medals.

ΣΜΥΡΝΑΙΩΝ ΠΑΣΙΚΡΑΤΗΣ: ''fig. eadem, cum duplici monogrammate, Smyrnae urbis et sectae Herophilae uno, ac sectae Erasistrateae altero, i.e.'' EPA.<br> ''Horum Ξεὺξις cum tota ipsius schola; i.e. τοῖς περὶ τὸν Ξεῦξιν, laudatur ab Erotiano in voce Καμμάρω. Hicesius a Plinio, l. xxvii. c. 4. ut non parvae auctoritatis medicus. Pasicrates Menodoro adjungitur in inscriptione Dousana. Menodorus vero Hicesio apud Athenaeum, l. iii. c. 9.

Of these medals the first, third, and fourth, are now before me, with about twenty others of the same type and character. Being mistaken for unknown magistrates, they were esteemed the refuse of Dr. Sherard's medals. However, many of a fairer stamp and better preserved were by him reposited in the cabinet of his Grace the Duke of Devonshire; particularly an Ἱκεσιος, and if I mistake not, an Ἀλέξανδρος, being the other master mentioned by Strabo. I hope to be introduced by Dr. Sherard to the favour of consulting them in his Grace's rich collection. In the mean time these, Sir, with myself, are absolutely yours; and being obliged to be in town for waiting at Court on Friday, I will attend you with them at your house at what time you please to command me, by a line directed to, &c. E. Chishull.'
