Dear Jochen, Before this list gets any longer, may I ask a question that has been bothering me in the other lists?
Here, as in "ex NumismatikLanz", it seems to mean as
in ex Handel, as distinct from im Handel; so also, for ex., ex Burstein means
formerly in the Burstein, Nevada
collection.
On the other hand, I have assumed that "ex Hoeft" means
in your own
collection, as your bookplate says "ex libris", or "one of the
collection of".
Either meaning is permissible in Latin, of course. In catalogues of coins, however, the first meaning,
formerly is usual. If you write, however,
once John Quincy Adams (our coin collecting president), it means that the specimen is known to have been one of
his, but its present location may not be known, unless your write, e.g., Name of Museum, once JQA, whereas when we see in a list "ex
BCD", we mean that the coin is in one of the catalogues of
his collection, and "ex
Lindgren" means either in one of
his three volumes or in one of the
Lindgren lists that disposed of those that were not.
I noticed Patchev, whom I know as the distributor of
Marcianopolis I, with "ex" preceding
his name. I never heard of a
Bulgarian academic who was also a dealer.
