FOREWORD
the present volume has
been
delayed in publication considerably
ALTHO
my
original intent
and expectation,
it
has profited thereby,
beyond
as a
sabbatical leave
from
College
during
the academic year
1958-1959
gave
me a
chance
to
visit
most
of
the large museums of Europe and to
make
a
number
of
corrections and additions to my
original
manuscript.
This,
theoretically the
third
volume in the series, now completes the
catalog
of
the coins involved back to
1700,
about
half
the period
of
the
issuance
of
crowns and talers.
Though
the number
of
missing
illustra
tions has
been
reduced markedly below
that
in German
Talers
1700-
1800,
thanks to my personal inspection
of
many large collections, the
ten
still
lacking attest the
difficulty of tracking
down certain pieces
even
with
the most exhaustive inquiries.
I
would appreciate hearing
from
the owners
of
any coins
of
the
still unillustrated
types.
The
inclusion
of
the
Austrian-Habsburg
pieces
in
a
non-German book
will
probably raise many European eyebrows, but having separated
them previously in my
first
volume and
knowing that American
col
lectors
will
not
be
confused by my arrangement,
I
can only say
that
the
decision was quite
arbitrary
—
as
well
as
convenient
—
and
that
the issues
of
the
Holy
Roman Emperors, the
Austrian
princes and counts, the
Austrian
Church states, the
Austrian
and Spanish Netherlands, Holstein,
Liechtenstein,
Liege, and
Luxemburg
could quite properly have
been
included
with
the Germanic issues
of
the
Holy
Roman
Empire.
Geogra
phy has possibly triumphed over
history.
am indebted is again long and
distin
guished.
I
have
leaned
heavily
on
the resources and personnel
of
the
American Numismatic
Society and
wish
to
thank
Geoffrey
H. North,
Richard P.
Breaden,
Henry Grunthal
and
William L. Clark,
the
latter
especially
for
his help in the
Turkish
series,
for their
forebearance and
advice.
The
manuscript was
virtually
in final
form
before
I
was
able
to
inspect personally the collections
of
the numerous European museums
I
visited
during
1958-59,
but
I
had corresponded
for
some
years
with
many members
of
the various staffs and obtained
information
and photo
graphs. To the entire personnel
of
the Coins and Medals Department
of
the
British
Museum
I
wish
to express my appreciation
for
their
patient and courteous attention to my many questions and requests.
Dr.
H. Enno
van Gelder
of
the
Koninklijk
Penningkabinet in
The
Hague was
most
kind
in allowing
me to use a
manuscript covering all modern
Dutch
coinage.
Dr.
Willy
Schwabacher of the
Kungl. Myntkabinettet
in Stock
holm,
Frau Dr. Fritze Lindahl of
the Nationalmuseet
in Copenhagen,
Dr. Bernhard Koch
of the
Kunsthistorisches
Museum in Vienna,
Dr. Peter
Jaeckel of
the Staatliche Miinzsammlung in Munich,
Dr.
D. Schwarz of
the Schweizerisches Landesmuseum in Zurich,
Dr. Gert Hatz of
the
Hamburg Munzkabinett
were especially
helpful
in assisting me to solve
my problems. To curators and staff members
of
the museums in
Amster
dam,
Utrecht,
Brussels, Geneva, Bern, Basel,
Frankfurt, Brunswick,
The list of
those to whom
I
Budapest, and Prague
I
am
also much indebted
for information,
casts,
photographs, and advice.
Many
coin dealers
kindly
opened
their libraries
and
their
stocks
for
my inspection, and
I
would like to express my
gratitude
to several staff members in Spink's and Seaby's in London,
in Rome,
to
Frank
Sternberg and
Erich
Cahn in
to
the Santamarias
Zurich, to Jacques Schulman
and
Leonard
Forrer
in Amsterdam, and to
Paul Tinchant
in Brussels
for
the generous
use
of
their
time and
resources.
Many
private collectors have answered queries or provided coins
for
photographing.
Energetic
in my behalf have
been
Andrew E.
Kelpsh,
William
R.
Higgins,
Jr.,
Tyge Sondergaard,
Carl 0.
Schwab, Joseph
F.
Sawicki, R.
H.
Rosholm, Robert
Prann,
and many others, to all
of
whom
go my thanks.
Several sections
of
the present book appeared in the
Numismatist
ten to twelve years
ago.
And for
the cuts
made
at
that
time
I
am
grateful
to officials
of
the
American Numismatic Association
and to
Richard
Yeoman of the
Whitman Publishing
Co.
Many
people
have also contributed to the valuations of
this
series, and
for
generous donation
of their
time and experience may
I
thank Dr.
Giinther Probszt of
Graz,
Austria,
the Santamarias
of
Rome,
Erich
Cahn
of
Zurich,
Andrew E.
Kelpsh, Randolph Zander,
D. G.
Liddell
of Spink's
in London.
As
I
have not always followed
their
recommenda
tions, any errors in
judgment
on
this
score must
be
credited
to me.
Again
may
I
ask
that
anyone discovering errors
of
omission or
com
mission
inform
me
for
any possible revisions in the
future.
