Habich, Georg, completed by Max Bernhart and Paul Grotemeyer. DIE DEUTSCHEN SCHAUMÜNZEN DES XVI. JAHRHUNDERTS. ERSTER TEIL: DIE DEUTSCHEN SCHAUMÜNZEN DES XVI. JAHRHUNDERTS, GEORDNET NACH MEISTERN UND SCHULEN. München: F. Bruckmann, 1929–1934. Five volumes, complete: Erster Band, Erste Hälfte; Erster Band, Zweite Hälfte; Zweiter Band, Erste Hälfte; Zweiter Band, Zweite Hälfte; Registerband. Folio [39 by 31.5 cm], original matching brown quarter morocco with green cloth sides; flat spines handsomely decorated and lettered in gilt; top page edges gilt. (2), xxxv, (1), 130; (4), (2), xli–lxxvi, 131–262; (4), lxxxi–cxxiv, 263–460; (4), cxxix–cxxxii, 461–557, (1), (2); 48 pages; text illustrations; 334 very fine plates of medals bound in on hinges. Vorläufige Inhaltsübersicht and an article about the work clipped from the 4. Februar 1934 issue of the Deutsche Zukunft laid in. Occasional inserts. Bindings worn and rubbed, with contents a bit shaken; tape repair to one volume's spine. Very good or so. The rare, superbly illustrated, original edition of Georg Habich's magnum opus on German medals and presentation talers of the 16th and 17th centuries. This absolutely indispensable and superbly illustrated standard reference work defines not only the artistic excellence of German renaissance medals but their historical importance as well. Published with the support of the Bayerischen Akademie der Wissenschaften and the Deutschen Vereins für Kunstwissenschaft. The condition of this set testifies to the incontrovertible fact that while the Saltons loved their books, they also used them-especially their books on medals. Clain-Stefanelli 14281*. Grierson 263. Modesti 1006.
