Brenner, Elias, Thesaurus Nummorum Sveo-Gothicorum, Joh. Laur. Horrn, Printer, Holmiae (Stockholm), 1731, new hardcover added to original edition, missing first 11 pages but otherwise in excellent condition. This is the best edition of the great work on Scandinavian numismatics other than the rare first edition of 1691. With many illustrations of engraved plates of coins. Full title in Latin as "Thesaurus nummorum sveo-gothicorum studio indefesso Eliae Brenneri L. annorum spatio collectus, secundum seriem temporum dispositus, atqve e tenebris cum commentatione in apricum prolatus. Accessit ejusdem auctoris Libellus de nummophylaciis Sveciae: de scriptoribus rei nummariae Svethicae: atque de thesauris, seu variis vetustorum nummorum cumulis, passim per Sveoniam fortuito casu repertis". Elias Brenner (1647–1717) was a Finnish born, Swedish artist, draftsman and antiquarian. He is especially known for his work as a portrait miniaturist and a numismatist. In 1691, his great work on Swedish coins, Thesaurus nummorum Sveo-Gothicorum, was first printed. In the following year on a limited scale it began to be spread by the government as a gift to dignitaries and professionals. Its reception was very good and the book was mentioned with praise in foreign press.
