Excerpt from History of Jewish Coinage, and of Money in the Old and New Testament
But in the latter year the distinguished numismatist Abbé Cavedoni wrote the Numismatica Biblica,' 3 and soon afterwards an appendix to the same. They were both translated into German in 1855 and 1856, by A. Von Werlhof. In the meantime, in 1854, M. F. De Saulcy pub lished a work of great excellence, entitled Recherches sur la numismatique J udaique,' which was enriched by the publication of all the coins he had collected in his travels through Palestine and Syria. The plates of this latter work are singularly beautiful. The works of Cavedoni and De Saulcy served to keep alive the interest in this branch of science till 1862, when Dr. Levy of Breslau published his History of Jewish coins, a work, to a great extent, based on the second volume of Cavedoni, but offern in the history of the later period Of Jewish coinage several new and important attributions.
