Henry Cohen (Amsterdam, 21 April 1806 – Paris, 17 May 1880), was a French numismatist, bibliographer and composer. Cohen moved from Amsterdam to Paris, where he worked as a music teacher and served as curator of the Cabinet des Médailles at the ''Bibliothèque nationale de France''. He published several works during his lifetime. Cohen's ''Guide de l'amateur des livres à vignettes du XVIII Siècle'' went through four editions and is considered the standard bibliography of French 18th century illustrated books.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Henry Cohen's Work ).〕 He is perhaps best known for his two fundamental works on ancient numismatics: the first, published in 1854, dealt with the Roman Republican coinage, while the second, issued in 8 volumes from 1859 to 1868, focused on the coinage of the Roman Empire, from Pompey to Romulus Augustus (49 BC - 476). Besides his numismatic works, Cohen wrote several compositions, one of which, the opera "l'Impératrice", was performed, about 1834, in Naples, Paris, and London.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Biographies de numismates: Henry Cohen (1806-1880) ).〕 Moreover, he published four tracts about musical theory.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Biographies de numismates: Henry Cohen (1806-1880) )〕 ==Works== * ''Description générale de monnaies de la République romaine'', Paris, 1854 * ''Guide de l’acheteur de médailles romaines et byzantines'', Paris, 1876) *''Description historique des Monnaies frappées sous l'Empire romain, communément appelées Médailles impériales'', 8 voll., Paris, 1859–1868, * *2nd edition, 1880 to 1890, (available on line here ) and (here ) *''Guide de l'amateur de livres à vignettes du XVIII-e siècle'', Paris, 1870, (reprints: 1873, 1877, 1880) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Henry Cohen (numismatist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
