Jesuit Connoisseurs and Collectors of Ancient Coins before Joseph Eckhel
As early as 1635, Jesuit Claude Clément (1596–1642) recognized coins as “minted historical sources” and an essential complement to the library. However, it was not until the latter half of the seventeenth century that Jesuits became prominent members of the “Republic of Medals,” the European network of coin and medal connoisseurs and collectors. This article aims to explore the varied contributions of Jesuits to numismatics up to the mid-eighteen…
Die Alexandrias des Francisco Javier Alegre SJ (1729–1788)
Contribution of the Jesuits to the Development of Numismatics before the Suppression of the Society in 1773
The introductory essay explores the main aspects of the Jesuits’ contribution to the development of numismatics—the study and collection of coins, medals, and related objects—from using coins as inspiration for emblems and historical sources in the seventeenth century to the autonomous study of (mostly ancient) coins in the eighteenth century. In the seventeenth century, a philological approach prevailed among the Jesuits: Athanasius Kircher (160…
How to Make a Rare Coin out of a Common One? Early Modern Forgeries Using Original Ancient Coins
The practice of forging ancient coins and medals was discussed as early as the 16th century. The first author to devote an entire chapter of his work to this problem was Enea Vico (1523–1567). In the first half of the 17th century, Louis Savot (ca. 1579–1640) postulated the need to collect both ancient coins and their forgeries for comparative purposes. In the second half of the 17th century, two very popular textbooks on numismatics were publish…
An Unknown Coin of Castor of Galatia and a Possible New Dating of Deiotarus’ Coins with a Monogram of His Name
The paper presents a hitherto unpublished bronze small Galatian coin with the Greek monogram of the name Castor on the reverse (gen. KAΣΤOPOΣ), typologically very close to the small bronzes (denomination C according to Hoover’s division) of King Deiotarus of Galatia HGC 7, 776 = SNG von Aulock 6101; SNG France 3, 2332. It seems more likely that the coin published here was struck for Castor, grandson of Deiotarus, who became king of Galatia (and P…
Cererem and Ivnonem. Why the Accusative Case? Two Rare Reverse Legends on Coins of Julia Domna (RIC IV Caracalla 378, 585, 596 and 599)
Among the new coin legends that have appeared on Julia Domna’s bronze and (very rare) silver coins throughout the reign of her son Caracalla (211–217) the most interesting seem to be two rare accusatives: CEREREM (dupondius and As RIC IV Caracalla 596) and IVNONEM (quinarius RIC IV Caracalla 378; sestertius RIC IV Caracalla 585; dupondius and As RIC IV Caracalla 599). This paper aims to place such accusatives in a literary and epigraphical contex…
Jan Kochanowski in Königsberg
Scholars interested in Jan Kochanowski have paid little attention to the impact of German Humanism – as represented in Königsberg – on both the writing and the life of the poet. Indeed, Kochanowski went to Königsberg for the first time in summer or autumn 1551 andstayed until the following spring. He was there for the second time in spring or summer 1555 and remained at least until mid 1556. Especially the Polish poet’s second stay in the Prussia…
