EBERMEYER, JOHANNES MARTINUS. Gemmarum affabre sculptarum Thesaurus. Folding engraved frontispiece illustrating Ebermeyer's gem cabinet, headpiece with arms, 8 plates, 22 illustrations, portrait of Ebermeyer bound at end. [8], 46, [4] pages. Folio, contemporary 1/2 vellum; two leaves slightly browned. Nuremberg, 1720

  • Notes: first edition of the privately printed catalogue of Ebermeyer's collection of engraved gems. The work was catalogued by J. J. Baier, professor of medicine at Altdorf and a fellow collector and numismatist. In this copy, the plate of his cabinet, usually appearing after the preface, serves as frontispiece rather than the portrait, which is instead bound at the end.
