Edition Notes
8vo.
A very good copy in contemporary wrappers. Verso title with old library stamp 'Ex Bibliothecae Academiae Rostockiensis.'
The only other copy we could locate worldwide is at Rostock University Library. Rare sale catalogue incorporating an important treasure discovery near Grahlow. On 22 September 1818, a farmer discovered under a tree, a hoard of medieval coins from the time of Emperor Otto I. The coins were found in a curiously decorated clay vessel together with silver jewellery which is also offered here. The so called Grahlow haord was offered in the first 70 lots here. There are also another 500 odd lots of ancient Roman coins. Just before the auction was announced, the Grahlow hoard had been purchased in its entirety by the Royal Prussian coin cabinet for 230 Thaler.
Sept. 6, 1819
