Lettre du 15 mars 1738 (de Pesaro): "Il Co. Gherardesca a lei similmente presenterà un simile esemplare ed unito vi riceverà l’altra dissertazione del nummus e reus che [c. 158v] le ritorno" ; "Vedrà presto una mia dissertazione sopra due medaglie sannitiche, scritta son già due anni, e intorno alla quale avrei mille cose da dire” (Firenze, Biblioteca Marucelliana, BVII21, cc. 158r-159r – online). +
Lettre du 20 avril 1738 (de Pesaro): “Quanto al Pittore ed intagliatore hò communicata la sua stim.ma lettera a questi SS.ri, i quali prima di pensare cosa alcuna definitivamente, aspettano di sentire che cosa saranno per dire in risposta di quanto le significai nello scorso ordinario. Al S. Co. Montani farò la sua ambasciata; intanto hò avuto piacere di leggere la sua che almeno il nuovo antiquario numeri le medaglie” (Firenze, Biblioteca Marucelliana, BVII21, c. 162r – online). +
Lettre du 25 janvier 1744 (de Pesaro): “Per altro hò letto tutto e con avidità l’accennato libretto, e se per una parte hò trovata occasione di mortificarmi per l’onore che le è piaciuto di farmi, vi hò per l’altra trovate cose che mi sono molto piacciute, e segnatamente, giacche per la stessa ragione non mi posso allungare, la sua conghiettura che la e della nostra iscrizione di Pesaro possa essere un misto di o ed u, ossia l’8 de’ Greci, che si accosterebbe molto più frontale di quella iscrizione al [...] di Esi- [c. 210v] chio, che portai nell’ultima dissertazione sopra le medaglie Sannitiche” (Firenze, Biblioteca Marucelliana, BVII21, cc. 210r-v – online). +
Lettre du 30 janvier 1745 (de Pesaro): “Dal nostro Passeri ho ricevuto il disegno delle due medaglie Pesaresi ch’ella si è compiaciuta favorirmi. Non dubito di chiamarle tali, perché la prima col Cerbero è la stessa stessissima che fù dal [...] pubblicata, e veduta poi dallo [Spandemio] in cod. Galleria, colla intera parola [...] Colla testa d’Ercole coronata di pioppo da una parte e il Cerbero dall’altri. Nell’Agostini vedesi l’imagine di questa medaglia ma siccome non doveva essere eccellente la conservazione così in vece delle lettere vi son fatti i puntini. Non potendo adunque dubitarsi che Pesarese non sia la prima ne viene in conseguenza che pur Pesarese dee giudicarsi l’altra se non nei simboli almeno e nella fabrica, e nella Iscrizione somigliante. Non così facile però sarà l’indagare a qual tempo precisamente debba riferirsi la medaglia, la quale non può credersi se non anteriore alla deduzione della colonia seguita l’anno 570 di Roma, e probabilmente ancora alla conquista di questa Provincia fatta [c. 222v] da Romani cent'anni prima” (Firenze, Biblioteca Marucelliana, BVII21, cc. 222r-v – online). +
Lettre du 9 octobre sans an (de Pesaro): “Per arricchire questo di nuoni monumenti non mancherò di far disegnare e le Patere particolarmente ricercate, e tutto ciò che ella giudicherà più a proposito ; ma la prego farsi accordarmi nel servirla la dilazione fino a mezzo novembre, poiché avendo noi qui una strepitosa opera, ci troviamo imbarazzati di tal maniera, che non è possibile aver un’ora di requie, ed io oltre l’essere oppresso dal divertimento, e dalla soggezzione, ho la casa piena di Forestieri, tanto che mi si rende impossibile il far ora quel che vorrei dunque. Dunque allora le farò disegnare le due Patere con permissione ; la Minerva del museo Ardizi che è molto bella, alcune medaglie di Gervasoni, di Passeri, e mie, si pure [c. 233r] così a lei piace ; ele manderò il disegno del mio amore che feci fare due anni sono, con intenzione di farlo intagliare, quando ella sia in pensiero di pubblicarlo, e dirolle allora ancora la Istoria di questa bella statuina” (Firenze, Biblioteca Marucelliana, BVII21, cc. 232r-233r – online). +
Lettre du 2 décembre 1773 (de Pesaro): “Ho la medaglia di Trajano con quello che fu creduto una volta porto di Ancona, e che credesi in oggi rappresenti il famoso ponte del Danubio. E’ ben conservata ; l’ho esaminata con la lente ; nè ho saputo vedervi un Nettuno, nè canne, nè ſigure sopra l'arco" (Rubbi 1796, p. 109, lettre 147). +

'A scrappy and summary list of coins survives, entitled ‘Catalogue of the Lady Carteret’. This must be John Carteret’s mother selling the collection ‘during his minority’ (see [[Ainsworth 1719-1720 by Thomas Birch|FINA 14448]]). The relevant pages consist of a summary bill, dated 22 April 1704, and with various bits of arithmetic. It shows that the collection was very large, almost 6000 pieces. The document shows the purchase of 5803 coins and medals at a total price of £669 6s 0d.' (Burnett 2020b, pp. 376-7) +

The first pages, numbered 1 to 8, give a summary of the ‘Cimelia’, ‘Numismata & alia cimelia’ from 1601 to 1747, including the coins acquired from Archbishop Laud in 1636 until 1747.'

Anonymous - Impp: Romanorum antiquisima rarissima nec non varia singulorum Caesarum numismata, a Julio Caesare ad Heraclium, quae Abrahamus Gorlaeus collegit, et haeredes possident +
'The British Library has a volume of papers concerning Simonds D’Ewes, mostly concerned with coins (BL Add MS 22916). There are two principal groups. ... The second group consists of copies of the introductory notes D’Ewes had been preparing for his unpublished ''Thesaurus Numarius Romanus'', and are copied from Harley MS 255, which also included rough drafts listing his coin collection in various ways. The copies were made c. 1700 by someone with access to the D’Ewes papers. It is tempting to think that they were made by Humfrey Wanley, who was also interested in coins, and whom we know had seen the inventory of D’Ewes’s coin collection (presumably Harley MS 255), when he was sorting through D’Ewes’s papers in 1703, prior to their purchase by Robert Harley in 1705. The handwriting, however, is different from his, so we must assume that the copies were made by someone else.
One of the documents copied in the manuscript (ff.25–8) is a listing of the Gorlaeus collection, arranged by metal and giving the numbers of coins of each Roman emperor, or Republican family. Totals are also given, including for Greek coins, but unfortunately the Greek coins are not listed.
Its title shows that it dates to 1608–11, after the death of Gorlaeus in 1608 and before it was bought by Prince Henry in 1611:
Impp: Romanorum antiquisima rarissima nec non varia singulorum Caesarum numismata, a Julio Caesare ad Heraclium, quae Abrahamus Gorlaeus collegit, et haeredes possident<br>
[Very ancient and very rare coins of the Roman emperors, and varied specimens of individual Caesars, from Julius Caesar to Heraclius, which Abraham Gorlaeus collected, and his heirs possess].
Each section, after itemising its contents by emperor, gives a summary. They are:
(after gold):<br>
Numismata suprascripta 474<br>
Sunt et alia superioribus haud dissimilia 173<br>
Praeter haec sunt etiam alia Impp: post Heraclium 30<br>
Consularia 30<br>
Graeca 108<br>
Summa aureorum 825<br>
(after silver):<br>
Numismata suprascripta 2907<br>
Sunt et alia superioribus haud dissimilia 1874<br>
Graeca 754<br>
Gothica 62<br>
Summa 5597<br>
(after bronze)<br>
Numismata suprascripta 2230<br>
Sunt et alia superioribus haud dissimilia 522<br>
Praeter haec sunt etiam Graeca 160<br>
Summa 2912
(after consular silver)<br>
Numismata suprascripta Coss: 1470<br>
Sunt et alia superioribus haud dissimilia 842<br>
Summa 2312
These section totals are then summarised at the top of f.29r:
Summa omnia aureorum, argenteorum, et aereorum, quae in hoc indice posita sunt 11642<br>
Superioribus hisce sepositis, sunt et alia aurea, argentea, et aerea, de quibus an vere antiqua sint dubitatur 1618 (13260)<br>
Sunt et aurei, argentei, et ferrei annuli antiquissimi et rarissimi plusquam ducenti, quos imperatores et Consules Romani gestarunt, et obsignandum usi sunt:<br>
Sunt etiam antiquissimi preciosi incisi lapides, ut Achates, Onyx, Heliotropium, Sarda, numero 200<br>
[Total of all gold, silver and bronze pieces, which are recorded in this list: 11642<br>
Separated from the above are also other gold, silver and bronze pieces, concerning which it is doubtful whether they are ancient: 1618 (13260)<br>
There are also more than 200 gold, silver and iron rings, very ancient and very rare, which the Roman emperors and consuls carried, and used for signing There are also very ancient and valuable cut stones, such as agates, onyx, heliotropes and sard, 200 in number]
The total of 13,260 is exactly the same as in the letter of 1601, so we can conclude that Gorlaeus had not acquired any coins after 1601, and that he had not been successful in selling any of his duplicates.
As this listing is immediately followed by the report of the Commission of 1640 (on which, see below), it is clear that the original must have been a listing made at the time of the purchase of the coins by Prince Henry in 1611. D’Ewes would have access to it in 1648, when he was appointed in charge of the Royal collection with Patrick Young, the royal librarian and his friend. However, D’Ewes was clearly using the list in the letters he wrote to Smetius in 1647 (FINA [[Simonds D'Ewes - Johannes Smetius - 1647-8-7|4199]] & [[Simonds D'Ewes - Johannes Smetius - 1647-12-14|4208]]), so it seems likely that Young would have shown it to him before then, especially if it is correct to think that Young looked after the royal collection after 1640. As we have seen, they were friends and regular companions.
It is possible that the c. 1610 listing was either the same as or based on that made by Daniel Heinsius who, several years later, in [[Daniel Heinsius - Simonds D’Ewes - 1642-5-14|his letter to D’Ewes of 1642]] had mentioned that he had made an ‘index’ of the collection. We do not know when Heinsius made his ‘index’ or exactly what it may have included; but the word ‘index’ is also used in the inventory here.
Since the collection still included 12,916 coins in 1640, it is clear that Prince Henry bought all 13,260 coins on offer.'

'A single sheet of paper has been labelled in modern times as ‘[Draft of catalogue of Roman denarii in Laud coll:]’: Bodleian Library, MS Num f. 10 a C17 85. It was folded into four parts, this giving eight columns, on which are catalogued 67 Republican and 94 Imperial denarii. The list is incomplete and breaks off in the middle of Trajan. But the coins do not correspond to those in the Laud collection (as listed in [[Catalogue of Archbishop Laud's Coins - Oxford, Bodleian Library - MS Laud Misc. 554|Bodleian Library, MS Laud Misc. 554]] and [[Catalogue of Archbishop Laud's Collection of Coins - Lambeth Palace Library - MS 225|Lambeth Palace Library, MS 225]]), so it must be something else.'

'This catalogue of the Cambridge University collection lists 610 coins, divided into several sections:
ff.1-5: Numismata Graeca: 1 gold, 21 silver and 8 bronze<br>
ff.7-19: Numismata Consularia Arg.: 62 silver<br>
ff.20-24: Numismata Imperialia Aurea: 28 gold<br>
ff.25-42: Numismata Imperialia Arg.: 115 silver, to Honorius<br>
ff.43-71: Numismata Imperialia Aerea: 212 bronze, to Honorius<br>
ff.73-4: Saxon and English Coins: 11 Anglo- Saxon; 1 Scots; and 1 Ferdinand V de Castille (?)<br>
ff.75-81: English Coins: 51 coins to Charles II, latest date 1670<br>
ff.83-98: Modern Coins of different Countries: 99 coins, including pieces dating from the late 17th century, down to 1693
The date of compilation must be later than the latest coin listed, of 1693; in addition, there are references on f.41 to Banduri’s description of a coin of Magnus Maximus, thereby giving a terminus post of 1718; and on ff.12, 14, to Morel, pushing the date forward to after 1734.<br>
But what exactly is this volume? Various notes have been added on the fly-leaves and on paper inserts:
: This is perhaps the catalogue of Perne’s bequest to the university; see notes on Perne in the drawer of seal matrices. J. C. T. Oates observed that the MS Catalogue of the Gale Colln and this catalogue are in the same hand, both probably late 18th century. [in the hand of Graham Pollard; but there seems no trace now of the Perne notes referred to];
: But it includes modern coins of the 17th century which must be additional to the Perne collection [M.A.S. Blackburn’s hand]
: By Grace of 30 April 1856 the Coins & Medals of the University Library were transferred to the Fitzwilliam Museum [unattributed];
: This Catalogue was transferred to the Fitzwilliam Museum, 8 March, 1894. J. W. Clark, Registary.
: PERNE’S COLLECTION. The only known record of the coins is in the Baker MS in the University Library in which Baker transcribed a eulogy of Perne which began the catalogue and its imprint, proof that once there was a printed catalogue of the collection. NB: The MS catalogue of the Gale collection of the Perne (?) collection are in the same hand, which is probably late 18th century. J. C. T. Oates. 21 X 64 [typewritten note].
It can be seen that the catalogue has variously been connected with Perne, and that its hand has been associated with that of the Gale catalogue, and that both have been dated to the later 18th century.<br>
The second point is somewhat confusing since there are in fact two copies of [[Gale, Roger - Catalogue of the coin collection of Roger Gale|the catalogue of Gale’s collection]]. The original Gale catalogue, dated to January 1737, is in Gale’s own hand, and it is the later, undated copy that is in the same hand as this more general catalogue. This means that 1744, the date of Gale’s death, when the catalogue presumably went to the University Library with Gale’s coins, is the ''terminus post quem'' for both the copy of the Gale catalogue and for this more general catalogue, and both can be seen as parts of the same process, written by the same person and applying the conventions of the original Gale catalogue to both parts. Both volumes are the same size, although the Gale catalogue is much longer and the general catalogue has been re-covered at some point, perhaps in the 19th century. The coins listed in the general catalogue bear a convincing correspondence with the description of the coins in the University Library given by Uffenbach in 1710.'
(Burnett 2020b, pp. 401-2)
'There is a strange and undated list of ‘ye following Medalls in Esteeme,’ which were ‘Rece’ed from ‘Docter Trumbull’. It is written on the back of a letter addressed to ‘Mrs Heath: Akehurst at her house in Letherhead Surrey,’ but that does not mean that it was she who made the list, as it may just be a piece of reused paper. However, Alexander Akehurst is known as the person who rebuilt Emlyn House or The Mansion, Leatherhead Church Street, now Leatherhead Register Office. But no collector of that name is attested.
The list consists of two parts, written in different hands and both undated. The first is written in a rather childish looking hand. It uses childish language and makes many mistakes, e.g., the conflation of Olybrius and Glycerius (‘Olicerius’):

This summary is followed by a more detailed list in another hand (ff.56–63), which gives full descriptions of 130 large bronzes (mostly AE1, some AE2) from Julius Caesar to Postumus, with references to Oiselius 1677, Occo 1684, and Vaillant 1694, thus establishing a terminus post quem. But the coins in the second list do not coincide with those in the first (e.g., no Britannicus or Pescennius Niger), so it may be unrelated: perhaps each one was taken from a separate volume of the catalogue described above? Some are marked FALS or DUB, and with B, R, RR or C, and there are various numbers from (1) to (11) which look like tray numbers.<br>
The list looks as if it were made by the person who bought the collection, but his or her identity is unclear, as is the subsequent fate of the coins.'
