*Tegniza of Cremona, Marco Girolamo Vida (1485-1566), Bishop of Alba from 1533, bronze medal, bearded and tonsured bust right, rev., Pegasus at the spring of Hippocrene, 38.2mm (Attwood 132 = Cyril Humphris, European Medallions, 58; Arm. II, 161, 17), very fine contemporary cast with dark patina [Clifford lot 170]. Formerly attributed to Giovanni Battista Caselli, Attwood noticed its similarity to another version of this medal, an example of which, in the Oppenheimer collection, bore the signature tegniza cremon (Attwood 133). The Humphris example of the present medal is now in the British Museum. (300 - 400)
