Berlin, Germany: Imprimebat Ulricus Liebpertus, Electoral., 1696. This important 17th Century treatise was written by noted numismatist Lorenz Beger (also Laurentio Begero, Laurentii Begeri, etc) and printed in Berlin, Germany. Scarce work describes the collection of one of history's greatest antiquarians and numismatists, as chronicled by one of most esteemed numismatists of the 17th Century. Notably, we could not find another available copy of this treatise anywhere. Volume is genuinely rare. Lorenz Beger (1653-1705) was from Heidelberg, Germany. He was trained in jurisprudence and became a renowned numismatist, antiquarian, and sometime court poet. He was especially known for his skill as a numismatist, and was appointed by Prince Karl Ludwig of Pfalz to be the curator of major numismatic and other collections in Pfalz, and also in Berlin. In addition, Beger was a prolific writer on a variety of subjects, most notably antique collections and ancient coins. All of his original works are scarce. This desirable treatise relates to the works and collections of perhaps the most distinguished Renaissance collector and student of coins and medals, Hubert Goltzius (1526-1583). The noted Flemish humanist, printmaker, publisher, painter, and numismatist studied at Venlo, and was later sent to Luik (Liège) to the academy of Lambert Lombard under whom he apprenticed. In 1546, he traveled to Antwerp where he became a member of the Guild of Saint Luke, taking on Willem Smout as his student. Goltzius married Elisabeth Verhulst Bessemers, a painter from Mechelen, with whom he had seven children. Elisabeth's sister Mayken Verhulst was the second wife of Pieter Coecke van Aelst, which brought Goltzius into artistic circles. He became active in Antwerp as a painter and antiques dealer, however the only painting which can be definitively attributed to him is "The Last Judgement" (1557). While in Antwerp, Goltzius was introduced to many prominent numismatists, for whom he made numerous detailed drawings of coins. He also established a pioneering system for their classification. For this same purpose, Goltzius embarked on a numismatics study trip in 1556 through the Netherlands and the Rhine Valley. Rare book remains in good condition. Volume bound in early 19th Century cloth and paper over boards, endpapers refreshed, couple of unobtrusive institutional markings, age toning, one small closed edge tear not affecting text, scattered foxing and light spotting though generally clean internally. All in all, this desirable early work remains very presentable. Volume numbers 26-pages (with many fine text engravings) and measures approx 8" x 10" x 1/4" thick.
