SPINK LE RIDER LIBRARY SALE ANNOUNCEMENT
Hadrien Rambach writes: "We are pleased to announce that
Spink has purchased the major numismatic library of Professor
Geeorges Le Rider, and will be issuing a fixed price catalogue
of almost 1000 items in February 2005. The Le Rider library
contains many important standard references on ancient Greek
numismatics, as well as many other books relating to Roman
and Byzantine coinages, and the books will be offered for
sale at fixed prices.The catalogue we are preparing will be in the tradition of
those issued by the booksellers and publishers Hiersemann
and Gustav Fock of Leipzig, pre-eminent in the 1920s and
1930s. The latter offered for sale the numismatic library of
Haeberlin in 1937 (Kat. Nr. 714) and that of Professor.
Dr. Pick in 1934 (Kat. Nr. 695), whilst Hierseman issued
a number of fixed price catalogues of "Numismatik" books,
the best of which was probably his Nr. 605 issued
in October 1930.We are honoured to be able to offer this large selection of
books from Professor Le Rider's library. His reputation in
his chosen field of Greek coinages is unsurpassed amongst
his own generation, and his influence will live on through
his publications, many of which are justifiably recognized as
standard works. He follows in the footsteps of Ernest
Babelon and Louis Robert, in his own country, Barclay
Head and Stanley Robinson in Britain, Edward Newell in
the United States, and Imhoof-Blumer and Kurt Regling in
Germany, and of others in many parts of the world.The condition of the books in the library is particularly fine.
Notable items deserve special mention: the complete set
of Revue Numismatique, a long run of Numismatic Chronicle,
Babelon's masterwork, the Traité, the fine catalogues of
the Bibliothèque Nationale, those of the Berlin and the British
Museums, the Hunter and Grose Catalogues, Waddington's
Recueil Général, Imhoof-Blumer's Die Antiken Munzen der
Nord-Griechenlands, Newell's huge contribution to the
subject in his series of monographs, and of course the
complete international series of the Sylloge Nummorum
Graecorum, in the publication of which Georges played
such an important role in progressing Sir Stanley Robinson's
original visionary work.Notable early works include a fine and complete set of
Pellerin's Recueil (1762 - 1778) and Eckhel's Doctrina
(1792 - 1828), amongst others.This catalogue will not be sent to our general mailing list.
