SUBSCRIBER PROFILE: ALAN LUEDEKING

"I collect first and foremost Nicaragua, which is where I grew up, son of American expatriates in the machinery business there. I also collect papal medals of Civitavecchia (the port of Rome) and Byzantine bronze (anybody have a spare 3 nummi? (oh, sure!) I also take pride in my numismatic library of Latin America, which has necessitated building expansions to my home and displaced less important things (like the kids ;-)). My numismatic beginnings and bibliomaniacal adventures are detailed in the only lonely article I wrote for The Asylum (Summer-Fall 1997). I greatly enjoy numismatic writing but have done little of it; just one technical article in PCNS Journal (1/89), NI Bulletin (9/93), and LANSA (10/95). One of my passions is literature on Spanish Proclamation coins and medals (especially of the Americas), and I'm missing the following, so I'll take advantage of this forum and plea for help:

1) Lyman Low, the Gonzales del Valle sales of 7/10/1907, 7/11/1907, and 9/3/1907 (Gengerke 121,122,123).
2) Perez Varela, Don Hipolito, "Ensayo de Un Catalogo Descriptivo de Las Medallas de Proclamacion de los Reyes de Espana", Havana 1863.
3) Addison, Joseph, "Dialogos Sobre La Utilidad De Las Medallas Antiguas...[etc.]" translated by Don Pedro Alonso O'Crouley (O'Crowley?), Madrid 1795. Originally published in English, but the O'Crouley Spanish edition is much more interesting as it appends O'Crouley's own catalog of his Proclamation medals, extensively referenced by Medina and Herrera."
