Italy, Sicily and Carthage. Lisbon, 1971. Two parts. 136 pages of text;portfolio of 42 superb plates. Cloth, almost new. £50Calouste Gulbenkian was an extraordinary collector, who, from an early age he is said to have collectedcoins. His principles of collecting were stated in a letter to E.S.G. Robinson, who advised him on many ofhis purchases: ‘My aim is to make a very fine collection of Greek coins, purely from an artistic point ofview. In this respect, I want to confine myself to such specimens as are of the finest preservation andmost remarkable beauty. I do not want rarities if they are not splendidly preserved and artistic.’ Theexceptional collection which he assembled during his life is today housed in the Calouste Gulbenkianmuseum in Lisbon and is virtually beyond compare. He was able to purchase many of the finest piecesfrom the famous auctions of the 1930’s and 40’s as well as significant private purchases from the Vlastoand Jameson collections.In the same way as he collected, he had planned a catalogue that would be different from others: ‘I wanta monumental catalogue and not the usual dry book of descriptions. In my catalogue, I would like achapter of about fifty pages, giving a survey of the History of Ancient Greece by a very prominent Greekhistorian’ This volume contains 329 coins of Italy, Sicily and Carthage described in elaborate detail andsuperbly illustrated on the 42 plates.26 –– — Part II. Greece to the East. Lisbon, 1989. Two parts, text and plates.Quarto, pp. 200 with separate volume of (43)-99 plates. Cloth, minimalwear. £45The rest of the collection is covered in this second volume, which contains the remaining 696 gold,electrum and silver coins. The text consists of a short introduction, the catalogue, indices, a bibliography,and a note by J.M. Peixoto Cabral on the specific gravity of 52 electrum staters of Cyzicus. The majordifference from other catalogues is the division of coins into those of the Archaic-Classical and theHellenistic period, with Alexander’s death as the beginning of the later period.27 HAHN, W.
