Paciaudi, Paolo M. AD NUMMOS CONSULARES IIIviri MARCI ANTONII. ANIMADVERSIONES PHILOLOGICAE ACCEDIT EXPLICATIO TABULAE PELOPONNENSIS. Romae: Excudebant Fratres Palearini, Publica Auctoritate, 1757. 4to [29.5 by 21.5 cm], contemporary pasteboard covers. 126, (2) pages; title printed in red and black with a delightful, finely engraved architectural numismatic vignette; finely engraved historiated headpiece and tailpiece; woodcut tailpieces; fine engravings in the text of ancient coins and two historical scenes; one full page of ancient coin engravings; woodcut printer’s device. Spine a little rubbed; near fine. Paolo Maria Paciaudi of Turin (1710-81), was a Theatine priest and a well-known authority on numismatics and ecclesiastical archaeology. His Philological Observations appears to be quite rare. Correspondence, mainly on antiquarian topics, between Paciaudi and the French writer and noted numismatist, Jean Jacques Barthelemy (1716-95), may be found in the 1877 Correspondance inédite du Comte de Caylus by Ch. Nisard. Lipsius 302. Ex RBW Library.
