GREEK. Sylloge Nummorum Graecorum (SNG), Edoardo Levante (in collaboration with Peter Weiss), three-volume reference set comprising SNG Levante, Cilicia (Switzerland I, Cr?dit Suisse, Bern, 1986), a tall quarto sylloge with a concise text section and extensive photographic plates (commonly cited for Cilician types, with 36 pages of text and 125 plate leaves, plus map), SNG France 2, Cilicie (Cabinet des M?dailles, Biblioth?que nationale de France, Paris and Z?rich, 1993), cataloguing 2,436 coins with an extensive plate run (often described as 137 plates with facing descriptive text), and SNG France 3, Pamphylie, Pisidie, Lycaonie, Galatie (Cabinet des M?dailles, Biblioth?que nationale de France, Paris and Z?rich, 1994), illustrating and describing 2,675 coins across the southern Anatolian regions on a substantial plate sequence (widely noted as 146 plates), all in the classic SNG format prized by collectors and researchers for quick, confident comparison by photograph, with clear attributions and consistent numbering that is regularly cited in auction catalogues and collection records. Paper covers show visible signs of handling and use, otherwise the books present very fresh overall, with clean interiors and a near-new feel. From the personal reference library of David Allen, a well known numismatist, formed over more than 50 years and used as a long term reference for research, attribution, and catalogue work.
