V4 2001 INDEX E-SYLUM ARCHIVE

The E-Sylum: Volume 4, Number 8, February 18, 2001, Article 12

"FIRST ILLUSTRATED NUMISMATIC BOOK TRANSLATED" is incorrect. The book mainly depicts Roman Emperors and Royal Ladies and does not feature much text beyond a brief biographical sketch of the person depicted. The text that is featured in the book is translated from an Italian essay written in 1967 by Roberto Weiss about Fulvio and the book. It appears in English here for the first time.

On another front, an inexpensive reprint is in preparation of John Adams' "United States Numismatic Literature Volume I : Nineteenth Century Catalogs." Included will be a list of corrections and additions, and I solicit the input of E-Sylum and Asylum readers. A preliminary list of "Corrections and Additions" will be posted on my web site in the next several days, or I will be glad to send prospective participants a copy upon request. I anticipate printing a separate version of the "C & A" for distribution, at a reasonable price, to those who already have copies of the first edition."
