MONOGRAPHS.
Macdonald, George. Catalogue of Greek Coins in the Hunterian Collection, University of Glasgow. 3 volumes, Glasgow 1899-1905. Volume I: Italy, Sicily, Macedon, Thrace, and Thessaly, 495 pages, 30 plates. Volume II: North Western Greece, Central Greece, Southern Greece, and Asia Minor, 649 pages, plates 31-62. Volume III: Further Asia, Northern Africa, Western Europe, 799 pages, plates 63-102. 4to (24x29.5cm), matching ochre quarter leather spines and brown imitation leather boards, dark brown spine letters, top edges gilt, plates are heavy card stock. Spines uniformly rubbed and page edges shelf worn, interior Very Good. CS 1901, Daehn 1899
A note from BCD: This massive three-volume work, printed on fine quality paper, including the plates, was planned to complement the BMC catalogues. It never duplicated coin photographs that had already been published in a BMC volume and was therefore a separate visual research reference. It remains a classic example of fine scholarship and is still useful for the rarities it illustrates.
