A Bibliography of 16th Century Numismatic Books, by Christian E Dekesel, 1997, with A Bibliography of 17th Century Numismatic Books, by Christian E Dekesel, 2003, 3 volume set, both books hardback with dustjacket and in new condition (2)

16th) The first part of the book consists of a critical analysis of the numismatic bibliographies of FE Bruckmann (1729, 1732, 1741), JC Hirsch (1760) and JG Lipsius (1801); the second part consists of an alphabetical catalogue of all 16th century numismatic books which Dekesel located and analysed; and the third part, an alphabetical catalogue, contains an extensive specialised bibliography of 16th century publications in general. By the use of a series of detailed indexes of authors, translators, printers, publishers, places and dates of publication, and of libraries with holdings of 16th century numismatic material, it is possible to search for a specific book from many different angles.

17th) The first part explains the research strategy and contains a detailed geographical, chronological, and categorical analysis of all 17th century numismatic publications; an Addendum covering newly found 16th century numismatic publications is also included. The second part consists of an alphabetical catalogue of all 17th century numismatic books, again located and analysed by Dekesel, excluding all non-identifiable secondary references from other bibliographies.
