<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lrbguy, post: 3571756, member: 88829&quot;]I would like to read the article by Nicolas Corfú, but do not wish to sacrifice my privacy to do it.&nbsp; Anyone got a link to a copy I can read without signing away my rights to liberty? </p><p><br /></p><p>However, anyone interested in the topic needs to understand that the chain of scholarship does not merely go back to Ian Carradice.&nbsp; The most monumental study of this material was last done by Ernest Babelon about the time he became Keeper of the Department of Medals and Antiquities at the <i>Bibliothèque Nationale</i> in Paris.&nbsp; Babelon published <i>Les Perses Achéménides les Satrapes et les Dynastes Tributaires de Leur Empire Cypre &amp; Ph<i>é</i>nicie </i>&nbsp; (a work of 412 pages plus a separate volume of plates)&nbsp; in 1893, prior to his monumental <i>Traités des Monnaies Grecques et Romaines.&nbsp; </i>In the generations since then it has been updated by newer scholarship by not surpassed in its depth.&nbsp; To my knowledge it has not been translated from the French.&nbsp; That suggests to me that today any translation would require a substantial rewrite as well, but the field is apparently not broad enough to get that.&nbsp; Nonetheless, Babelon&#039;s work has been the jumping off point for other significant work by George Hill, Harold Mattingly, Sydney Noe, Martin Jessop Price, (all mostly in short pieces or references in larger works) and of course Ian Carradice whose typological study is best known to most readers at this site.&nbsp; That mountain of scholarship cannot be dismissed without a read, but I would very much like to know how Corfu&#039;s work will add to all of that.&nbsp; So if someone can give me a less compromising link to it, please do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
