Specialist Notes

Rare original edition. Exactly twenty years after Claude Du Molinet's Historia summorum Pontificum, the Jesuit Filippo Buonanni publishes the Numismata Pontificum Romanorum in Rome, an extensive catalog in two volumes dedicated to the papal metallic series, from the pontificate of Martin V to that of Innocent XII, reigning at the time of publication.
