Description

Pestilentia in nummis by Ludwig Pfeiffer (1842-1921) and Carl Ruland (1834-1907): the history of the great epidemics told through coins and medals, a contribution to the history of medicine and culture, with a catalogue of the pieces and two plates of medals.This is a faithful print-on-demand facsimile of the 1882 Tubingen edition (H. Laupp), reproduced in full from a library copy, bound as in that copy with Pfeiffer’s Zur Jennerfeier des 14. Mai 1896. The historical text is reproduced without modification; only the format, margins and legibility have been reset for modern printing.
