Alexander Teixeira de Mattos translation
Théodore Mionnet (1770-1842) was Assistant-keeper of the Cabinet of Antiquities at the National Library of France. He devoted thirty years of his life to compiling his Description des médailles grecques et romaines, avec leur degré de rareté et leur estimation (Paris: 1806-1837, 15 vols. 8vo), which is regarded as a standard work among numismatists.—T.
