Minervini, Giulio. SAGGIO DI OSSERVAZIONE NUMISMATICHE. Napoli: Giuseppe Cataneo, 1856. 4to, original printed boards. (4), 179, (1) pages; 7 very attractive plates engraved by Andrea Russo depicting ancient coins. Boards worn, but binding sound. Near fine. Very rare: the first copy we have offered in at least 25 years. The engraved plates were well executed. “G. Minervini (1819-1891), like Fiorelli and Cavedoni a contributor to the [Bollettino archaeologico napoletano], published his observations on the coins of Magna Graecia as well as other studies” (Babelon 163).
