Cover: From Lot 21 Copyright © 2018 Kolbe & Fanning Numismatic Booksellers LLC ANCIENT NUMISMATICS History of the Académie Royale des mie Royale des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres, and includes substantial numismatic content (subsequent volumes were occasionally published Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres thereafter). The Academy was founded in 1663 by Jean-Baptiste Col- bert. Often referred to as the “petite Académy,” this small group was responsible for advising on matters of iconography and the proper use of Latin on monuments, memorials and, notably, medals. The Academy went through several names and permutations in its early years, and played a very significant role in the project to commemorate the impor- tant events in the reign of Louis XIV in a series of what turned out to be over 300 medals. In 1702, they were responsible for the publication of the folio work printed to accompany the medallic project, the mas- sive Médailles sur les principaux événements du règne de Louis le Grand. That volume, one of the most important numismatic books ever print- ed, was a masterpiece of statesmanship and the printing arts, as well as a monumental work of state propaganda. The present work traces the history of the Academy, in its own words, from informal founda- tions to its development into an august institution: the Académie Royale des Inscriptions et Médailles, later known as the Académie Royale des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres. In addition to their involvement in the production of Louis XIV’s own medals, the study of numismatics came under the Academy’s purview. In the present work, numismatic con- tent begins on page 219 (“Reflexions sur les médailles d’Athènes”) and continues through page 286 (“Sur quelques autres monnoyes ou médai- lles modernes singulieres”), with much of more peripheral numismatic interest throughout. The coin plates depict coins attributed to Athens, Sparta and Crotone, as well as other Greek and Roman coins. A later plate depicts several medieval and early modern coins and medals. This is a beautifully produced book and an important work of history, with 1 Académie Royale des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres. HIS- much to commend it.

  • Münzen Aus Dem Reich Der Mitte – Von Der Kaurischnecke Zum Käsch
    Münzen aus dem Reich der Mitte – von der Kaurischnecke zum Käsch Um 1500 v. Chr. benutzte man in China Schneckengehäuse als Münzen; später wurden die Schnecken aus Knochen oder Kupfer nachgeahmt. Daneben zirkulierte Gerätegeld, zum Beispiel in Form von Messer- oder Spatenmünzen, aber auch runde Münzen waren in Gebrauch. 211 v. Chr. begann der erste chinesische Kaiser mit der Ausgabe von einheitlichen Reichsmünzen, aus denen sich schliesslich die Käschmünze entwickelte: eine runde Kupfermünze mit viereckigem Loch, die bis zum Ende der chinesischen Kaiserzeit im Jahr 1911 ausgegeben wurde. 1 von 21 www.sunflower.ch China, Shang-Dynastie, durchbohrte Cypraea moneta (Kauri) Denomination: Cypraea Moneta (Kauri) Prägeautorität: Prägeort: Prägejahr: -1500 Gewicht in Gramm: 0.9 Durchmesser in mm: 21.0 Material: Andere Eigentümer: Sunflower Foundation Kaurischnecken waren die langlebigste Währung aller Zeiten. In China wurden sie schon vor über 3000 Jahren als Geld benutzt und liefen, zusammen mit anderen Zahlungsmitteln, bis 1578 um. Die chinesische Schrift, die im 2. Jahrtausend v. Chr. entwickelt wurde, verwendet das Zeichen für Kauri noch heute in Wörtern wie Münze, Geld, Kaufen, Wert und ähnlichen. Das Zeichen ist auch Bestandteil der Inschrift auf vielen chinesischen Käschmünzen. Der venezianische Händler Marco Polo, der im späten 13. Jahrhundert während mehrerer Jahre in China lebte, überlieferte in seinen Reisebeschreibungen (Il Milione) einige Preise.

  • The Case of Chinese Zoosemy
    ZESZYTY NAUKOWE UNIWERSYTETU RZESZOWSKIEGO SERIA FILOLOGICZNA ZESZYT 47/2007 STUDIA ANGLICA RESOVIENSIA 4 Robert KIEŁTYKA, Grzegorz A. KLEPARSKI ON THE INDO-EUROPEAN NATURE OF NON-INDO- EUROPEAN ANIMAL METAPHOR: THE CASE OF CHINESE ZOOSEMY Introduction The aim of this paper is to outline the mechanism of zoosemy1 (animal metaphor) operating in Chinese in the context of its operation in Indo-European languages. In the existing literature, the issue of animal metaphor in Chinese has been touched upon in, among others, Hsieh (2000, 2002, 2003), Domínguez and Li (2004) and Kiełtyka (forthcoming).2 In their cognitively-couched analysis of the metaphorisation of animal terms, Domínguez and Li (2004) concentrate on the semantics of water animals in Spanish and Chinese, yet there is an evident lack of any in-depth study of zoosemic developments of other subcategories of the macrocategory of ANIMALS, such as, for example, MAMMALS, BIRDS, AMPHIBIANS or INSECTS. To meet this need, we intend to trace certain zoosemic developments involving the members of the category DOMESTICATED ANIMALS. We envision a later attempt will be made to expand the scope of the issue to further historical analysis. Quite rightly, this paper concentrates mainly on the question what has happened, rather than attempting to formulate definite answers to the questions of why or under what conditions zoosemic developments, and – in particular – zoosemic shifts in Chinese have taken place. 1 Zoosemy is understood in current semantic literature (see Rayevska (1979:165)) as nicknaming from animals which means that names of animals are often used to denote human qualities. 2 Kleparski (1990, 1996, 1997, 2002), Kiełtyka (2005a, 2005b), Hsieh (2000, 2002, 2003), Domínguez and Li (2004) and Kiełtyka and Kleparski (2005a, 2005b) analyse selected animal terms in various languages with special reference to English, Hungarian, Chinese and Spanish, with the aid of both componential and cognitive mechanisms.

However in the years following quite a number of Saybrook settlers acquired land and established homes east of the Connecticut River; amongst them were the Lay, Noyes, Champion, Griswold, Marvin, DeWolf, Lord and Ely families. On February 13, 1665, at a ceremony known as "The Loving Parting," the friendly separation of Saybrook and Lyme took place, and Lyme became an independent "plantation"; two years later, on May 9, 1667, a decree of the General Court at Hartford authorized the change of name to that of Lyme. There is a tra­ dition that Lyme was named after Lyme Regis in Dorset, Eng­ land, based on an unconfirmed legend that the Griswolds and/or the Sills came from that town. Others believe that the fact that the Lees of Lyme came from Lyme, Cheshire, England, may have had something to do with this town being so named. Lyme originally comprised an area of 80 square miles. In 1835 the eastern section became an independent town known as East Lyme; and in 1855 the south-west portion withdrew and became legally Old Lyme. In connection with setting the boundaries of Lyme, the story runs that there was much controversy about a strip of land be­ tween Bride Brook and the Niantic Rive*, also claimed by New London.

It covers about one thousand five hundred square meters, and is part of the People's Bank of China. The main exhibition of the Museum is called "Chinese Currency", which means the main content of the exhibition is the history of Chinese Currency. In China, exhibitions about the history of currency were often organized in various places. They all give a survey about the Chinese currency in a chronological way. This method enables the public to discover the historical lineage. However, most coins of various Chinese dynasties were round with a square hole. The only difference is the Chinese characters. Although most of the specialists would like such an exhibition in order to admire some rare coins, we think this option is less appropriate for the average visitor. So, we planned a new design for our museum. The principle we had in mind was that both academic specialists and the public should enjoy the museum. There is a Chinese saying for this: "Enjoy both refiner and vulgar". This thinking was embodied in two aspects: substance and form. The first is substance.

  • The Oft-Misunderstood Ant-Nose Coinage of Ancient China
    Thomas Walker ANA #: 3180822 The Oft-Misunderstood Ant-Nose Coinage of Ancient China What are They? Those who are familiar with the coinage of ancient China will know what is meant by the term “Ant-Nose.” In addition, they will know that these coins have many other names as well, including “Ghost-Face” and “Yi-Bi.” However, this number of collectors is relatively few, and the plethora of names can be confusing if one does not know where they come from. Ant-nose coins are oval in shape (usually 14-18mm by 5-7mm), have an inscription and hole (usually just a deep divot) on a convex obverse, and have a flat blank reverse. An example is pictured here: Why are They Called “Ant-Nose?” Though these coins are commonly called “Yi-Bi,” the Chinese equivalent of “ant-nose,” the original term was “Yi Bi Qien,” which meant “Ant and Nose Money.” Chinese numismatists coined this name when they discovered the ant-nose coins during the Southern Song Dynasty. This distinction in terminology is important as the name referred to two different coins as a collective. When discovered, the Song Chinese numismatists did not know who made these coins, how old they were, or what their archaic inscriptions meant. Of the many varieties known to exist, two are significantly more common than the others, and these two varieties are likely what would have been encountered. The most common variety, which was pictured above, was deemed a “Nose” coin because the inscription looked like a face with an abnormally large nose.

  • University Microfilms International 300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4.
