The E-Sylum: Volume 4, Number 37, September 9, 2001, Article 2 GROLIER CLUB EXHIBIT OPENS As first mentioned in the August 13, 2001 issue of The E-Sylum (Volume 4, Number 33), an upcoming exhibition at the Grolier Club (47 East 60th Street, New York, NY) will feature numismatic literature. "Numismatics in the Age of Grolier" will open this Wednesday, September 12, 2001. For more information, see http://www.grolierclub.org/ExNumismatics.htm From the exhibition press release: "Numismatic literature was among the most elegant and fascinating expressions of the printer’s art during the European Renaissance. A wide selection of these works, as well as Renaissance medals and the Greek and Roman coins which inspired them, will be on view at the Grolier Club September 12 through November 17, 2001. "Jean Grolier, the famous French book collector for whom the Club is named, was recognized by contemporaries for his collection of ancient coins as well as for his numismatic books, which formed a significant portion of his library." One featured item from Grolier’s collection will be on view in the show - The first numismatic book – the 1514 Paris edition of Budé’s De Asse et partibus, published by Josse Bude.
