A Collection in Context: Kommentierte Edition der Briefe und Dokumente Sammlung Dr. Karl von Schäffer

---

The first volume of the Tu?bingen Numismatic Studies series examines the collection of Karl von Scha?ffer, comprising almost 3000 numismatic objects, which came into the possession of the University of Tu?bingen in 1888, in the context of the history of science. The edition of the complete collection documentation is evaluated by contributions on the history of the university collection, a biographical-psychological analysis of Karl von Scha?ffer as a person, studies on the coin trade and on collecting and researching coins in the 19th century as well as a detailed investigation of the networks of the educated middle classes in the Kingdom of Wu?rttemberg interested in antiquities and coins. In the context of this dense network of records, the coins and archival materials not only unfold their significance as important contemporary historical documents for the development of numismatics in the advanced 19th century, but also represent a first-rate source for the reception of ancient coins as objects of research of art-historical and cultural-historical significance.
