Part IV, Livorno 1790, 155 pages, very good photocopy of the 1 engraved plate laid in. 8vo (19x24cm), tan full leather, spine with raised band, dark brown letters. Some stains to spine, interior Very Good. Lipsius 369, Leitzmann 130
A note from BCD: There is one recurring thought in one's mind when he reads Sestini: if he lived in our times he would be either a very rich coin dealer or a very distinguished numismatist. The man was a genius, there is no other word to describe him. 21st century numismatic scholarship could certainly do with some Sestini clones.
