Goldpräg. (Einband d.Zt.) 5,305,6 S. mit 150 Stichen ( Münzen beidseitige Abb.Antikbuch24-SchnellhilfeAbb. = Abbildung(en)) Rare numismatic-biographical work by Levinus Hulsius (ca. 1546-1606), a publisher, author, translator and compilator, as well as a mathematician, technician and a man of languages. He was born in Ghent in Flanders, but as a Calvinist Hulsius in 1584 had to flee his country, first to Heidelberg where he opened a school at Frankenthal. About 1590 he went to Nuremberg, where his real career and success started. Hulsius first worked as a language teacher and a public notary, but he now became in the first place an author, translator and a compilator, and by the way also a publisher and bookseller, as he used to publish all his own works, which were most impressive both in number and in the wide variety of subjects. Hulsius still is famous for his publication of a collection of early voyages of exploration which he himself adapted and translated into the German and which was continued after his death, published in 26 volumes between 1598 and 1650. He published a treatise on the use of the quadrant, as well as the present biographies of the Roman Emperors, illustrated with ancient coins, mainly from his own collection. But Hulsius' greatest merit no doubt was due to his composing and publishing the first French-German and German-French dictionary .( Titelbl. fehlt ist ersetzt d. K., sonst guter Zustand)
