Catalogue des monnaies musulmanes de la Bibliothèque Nationale, publié par ordre du Ministre de l'Instruction publique et des beaux-arts. Préface

First edition, printed in small numbers as an offprint of the preface only: the full catalogue was later published between 1887 and 1896 in three large volumes.

Henri Michel Lavoix (1820–1892) was curator in the Department of Medals and Antiquities at the Bibliothèque Nationale.

A rare and appealing copy.

Inscribed and signed by Henri Michel Lavoix to the archaeologist Melchior de Vogüé (1829–1916).
