Review(s)
"(...) there are several aspects of this volume that are quite valuable. The heterogeneity of topics discussed—including case studies which are often little known by scholars—represents its main strength. Furthermore, the variety of areas covered (e.g. Austria, England, France, Italy, etc.) is expansive. On the whole, the volume can be considered a mine of information on numismatic antiquarianism and coin collecting in the modern age, offering a great deal of valuable information for exploring the “Republic of Medals” through the analysis of social networks amongst collectors, novel archival records, and antiquarian sources which have at times been neglected by researchers before now." (Antonino Crisà, in Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 24.10.14)
