extant4cell Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 I am puzzled. In the supplement printed by Brekke in 1987 he mentioned this: "The situation is due to be rectified shortly. A team of RNS members, headed by Anders Berglund, has translated the Grand Duke's excessively rare published catalogue covering coins of 1682-1710 (including some 1300 coppers from 1700 through 1710). Catalogue text has been generated to describe the coins illustrated on the unpublished plates covering 1711-1719, and data are being assembled on which to base a comprehensive catalogue and set of plates for the years 1720-1725." What happened to that work? Has it ever being published in full or partly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgorS Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 It sounds vaguely familiar. I do not think it ever became RNS publication. But I do remember seeing one for auction somewhere. And speaking of that I decided to look at the auction catalog of the Zander Library. Yes, it is there as lot 1077: (Michailovitch, Geand Duke George) English translation by Anders Berglund of the text of Volume II, Peter I 1682-1710, 93 pages, and constructed English text for 1711-1719 plates, 99 pages. Card Covers Estimate was $50, sold for $110 Do not know how many copies were produced. I do not think I've seen one offered since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
