- Description
- The study of antiquities, especially ancient coins, flourished in the last half of the sixteenth century. Antonio Agustín y Albanell (1517-1596) was archbishop of Tarragona in notheast Spain, jurisconsult, and numismatist. His dialogues, originally written in Spanish, critiqued his contemporaries and their studies for ignorance of the classical Latin sources. Only one hundred copies of his work were printed, as he did not want his opinions on the inferiority of other numismatists to be widely known. He considered himself an artisan and made all of the woodcut illustrations of the various coins, medals, and ruins that appear throughout the work.
