The material remains of antiquity of the Greek and Roman worlds have fascinated Western society for thousands of years. They are multi-faceted objects, considered integral to several fields, such as the history of art, economics, politics, religion and technology, and tend to survive in the archaeological record where other natural materials do not.The earliest coins date to the beginning of the seventh century BC in Asia Minor. Before the seventh century BC, people utilized a bartering system. The first coins were created from an alloy of gold and silver called electrum, which occurred naturally in the Pactolus River, west of Sardis. The availability or lack of metal would have dictated the kinds of coins created during this early period. Eventually electrum fell out of use and gold and silver became the favoured metal. At this time, coins carried the value correlating to the amount of precious metal they contained. Because of this intrinsic value and their portable nature, coins circulated widely and for a long time, with many people collecting or hoarding them throughout history.OCLC Number / Unique Identifier:17593174:Collation: Demy 2°: *-3*? 4* A-P?

in slightly later eighteenth century tree calf, extremities worn, small worm hole on the lower board and some rubbing, flat spine gilt in compartments, red morocco label lettered in gilt. Small 12mo (138 x 80 mm), ff. [36]; pp. 36, comprising elaborately engraved title-page and 35 engraved plates (plate mark 58 x 90 mm), each plate depicting a scene from the Passion, the plates within a single ruled border, numbered centrally at the top in a break in the border, good strong impressions, the first plate (plate ?2?) signed ?S. le Clerc f.?, Plate 23 bound before Plate 22, a small tear to the corner of the final plate, with minimal loss but nowhere near the plate impression; the text after the plates being part of an additional devotional text, bound without the title page, A scarce pocket sized reissue of Le Clerc?s striking suite of engravings depicting the Passion of Christ, bound here with a section from the Ordinary of the Mass: a nice example showing the use of the engravings for personal devotion. The text following the plates does not have a title-page but begins on A1 with the blessing of the water and rite for exorcism (pp. 1-4) which is followed by the liturgy for the Ordinary of the Mass (pp. 5-23) and a final section giving the Prefaces, Prayers for the Faithful and a selection of Hymns. Given the subject matter of the plates, this little volume would have been a useful aid to devotions during the season of Lent. First published by Audran in 1692, this is one of a number of reissues of the plates in different formats and with differing borders to the plates: here the plates are within a simple rule and are numbered in a break of the upper rule. Dedicated to Madame de Maintenon, the wife of Louis XIV, the very attractive ornamental title-page bears her arms flanked by the figures of Religion and Charity, above the dedicatory inscription. The first plate begins the story of the Passion with Christ and his Apostles arriving in the Garden of Gethsemane and so forth to the Crucifixion, with particularly striking plates showing the Agony in the Garden juxtaposed with the sleeping Apostles, the proceedings before Pilate including the Flagellation, the fixing of the Cross in the ground with Christ on it and the Resurrection. Among Le Clerc?s many works - he was a prolific artist and engraver as well as a teacher of perspective at the Académie des Beaux-Arts, this achieved a wide public, perhaps because of its devotional usage, and saw a number of editions. ?Few artists have produced as much work as Le Clerc. he treated every genre with indisputable mastery (Benezit). See Brunet III, 915 for the 1692 edition; Jombert, Catalogue raisonné de l?oeuvre de Sebastien le Clerc, 232.

The engravings originally appeared as simple scenes, but are here presented within elaborate borders, made to look like picture frames. Dedicated to Madame de Maintenon, the wife of Louis XIV, the very attractive ornamental title-page bears her arms flanked by the figures of Religion and Charity, above the dedicatory inscription. The first plate begins the story of the Passion with Christ and his Apostles arriving in the Garden of Gethsemane and so forth to the Crucifixion, with particularly striking plates showing the Agony in the Garden juxtaposed with the sleeping Apostles, the proceedings before Pilate including the Flagellation, the physical details of the erection of the Cross with Christ on it and the Resurrection.

senza rilegatura. Zustand: buone condizioni. Suite di 23 incisioni originali finemente eseguite all'acquaforte su matrice di rame, impresse con inchiostro color seppia . Le vignette figurate, di forma ovale , illustrano numerose favole dell'antico poeta greco Esopo sono spesso abitate da animali, che per l'antico scrittore rappresentano i difetti e le virtù degli uomini; in alcune scene della silloge, invece, compaiono figure umane, mitologiche e fantastiche oppure oggetti inanimati. Sébastien Le Clerc, figlio di un orafo e membro di una famiglia di artisti al servizio del re di Francia, fu incisore assai prolifico; si distinse per il segno aggraziato, elegante e minuzioso, memore di Callot. La suite in esame testimonia il successo del genere favolistico negli anni del Re Sole, in parallelo con la letteratura francese del tempo. Esemplare in buono stato conservativo; margini sottili a sinistra e a destra, ampi sugli altri lati. 0.
