<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Broucheion, post: 8214839, member: 104887&quot;]Hi All,</p><p><br /></p><p>About 25 years ago I used interlibray loan to get a copy of <a href="https://ia802607.us.archive.org/26/items/tyrusrediviva00newe/tyrusrediviva00newe.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://ia802607.us.archive.org/26/items/tyrusrediviva00newe/tyrusrediviva00newe.pdf" rel="nofollow">ET Newell&#039;s <i><b>TYRUS REDIVIVA</b></i></a>. <i>Tyrus Rediviva</i> is a short monograph authored by Edward Theodore Newell and published by the American Numismatic Society in 1923. In its 23 pages of text and 3 pages of plates, Newell describes his understanding of the history of the output of the mint of Tyre for the time after the mint reopens, after Alexander the Great&#039;s conquest of the city, to the fall of the city to Ptolemy I (Soter) of Egypt in ca. 287/286 BC, whereupon Tyre becomes a mint of the Ptolemaic Empire. The fist Ptolemaic issue of Tyre was NOT known to Svoronos and, before Lorber&#039;s CPE, was only cataloged in this tiny ANS monograph.</p><p><br /></p><p>The copy I received was lent from the Elihu Burritt Library of the Central Connecticut State University in New Britain Connecticut. That copy was originally annotated by the author. Newell made a correction and two additions to the published manuscript. I reported this to the ANS librarian, who made of note of it and added it to the Newell files he kept. The notes to the monograph (in the author&#039;s hand) are as follows:</p><ul> <li>Cover:&nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;To Lawrence Hamill with my compliments&quot; ...<br /> Note: If there was a signature, it is now covered by the Library&#039;s bar code accession number. Any idea who Lawrence Hamill might be?</li> </ul><p> <ul> <li>Page 3:&nbsp;&nbsp; Under the listing for coin 1, die pair A-alpha is added &quot;E.T.N., &#039;↓&#039;, gr.&quot;, <br /> apparently referring to a coin in the author&#039;s collection with a different die orientation than the other coins.</li> </ul><p> <ul> <li>Page 5:&nbsp;&nbsp; Under the listing for coin 17, die pair D-theta is added &quot;E.T.N., &#039;↑&#039; &quot;,<br /> apparently referring to a coin in the author&#039;s collection with a different die orientation than the other coins.</li> </ul><p> <ul> <li>Page 10:&nbsp;&nbsp; In the seventh line on the page the dates have been changed from &quot;(Oct. 311 - Oct. 310 B.C.)&quot; to &quot;(Oct. 310 - Oct. 309 B.C.)&quot;.</li> </ul><p>Since then, I realized that what we see in print is often slightly flawed or subject to correction or updates from the time the manuscript leaves the author to when it gets published and disseminated. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m sure [USER=107503]@VD76[/USER] will gain a wonderful insight into the thinking that went into Metcalf&#039;s work. Congratulations on a second wonderful book find!</p><p><br /></p><p>- Broucheion[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
