SCHULZE, Gio. Enr. / SCHULZE, Gio. Lud. / BUDON, Giuseppe (ed.). Introduction to the Science of Ancient Coins. Naples, at Michele Morelli, 1790. Rare and important Neapolitan eighteenth-century edition devoted to classical numismatics; the work, translated from German by Gio. Lud. Schulze, is enriched by the precious and extensive historical, critical and etymological annotations of the scholar Giuseppe Budon. The volume opens with a famous and solemn dedication "To the Sacred Royal Majesty of Maria Carolina of Austria, Queen of Sicily", testimony to the editorial prestige of the work in Bourbon Naples in the late eighteenth century. Full contemporary rigid parchment binding with a gilt spine label Complete work including title page within a decorative typographic frame, dedication to Maria Carolina of Austria, extensive methodological text on Roman and Greek numismatics, and an exhaustive final "Index of Subjects". A genuine copy, well preserved and free of invasive restorations. The contemporary parchment binding is solid and well anchored, with light and natural foxing and ergonomic signs of age on the boards; a small marginal imperfection/missing piece at the perimeter of the gilt spine label is noted. Interior very fresh, leaves solid and crisp with sporadic and physiological foxing or slight marginal browning that do not compromise readability of the text. Original sprayed edges. pp. 383 n.
