KOLBE & FANNING BCD LIBRARY SALE, PART 2

Kolbe & Fanning Numismatic Booksellers are excited to announce that we will be holding the second sale of material from the extraordinary BCD Library on Saturday, November 2. Our first offering of highlights from this library was a tremendous success, with bidders participating from all over the world. The second sale is both similar to and different from its predecessor. While it once again covers the entire span of ancient numismatics, this sale's main emphasis is on more specialized publications—die studies of individual cities, collections that focus on particular regions, and monographs about specific issues. The online catalogue can be accessed at bid.numislit.com.

Some highlights of this first sale include:

   

 
Lots 37 and 68

Lot 37: a finely printed and finely bound copy of Théophile Gautier's charming 1894 Une nuit de Cléopatre

Lot 68: the 1665 first edition of Charles Patin's excellent Introduction a l'histoire, par la connoissance des medailles, arguably his most influential work
