Gentle Traveller (Curatorial catalogue)[iii] Two mildly lewd medals, of similar taste to the ring, were found by Dr Shuckford in Casaubon’s cabinet and attributed to him. But they may be Bargrave’s,
if we assume that the ring was. The medals, both from the same mould, portray an old man looking left on one face and a satyr’s
head looking left and covered in phalli in lieu of hair on the other.
Gentle Traveller (Curatorial catalogue)[13] MEDIEVAL & RENAISSANCE OBJECTS found in the cabinets, but not necessarily connected with Dr Bargrave or Dr Casaubon.

Gentle Traveller (Curatorial catalogue)[15] THE COINS AND MEDALS OF DR BARGRAVE & DR CASAUBONThe three ancient cabinets in the Cathedral Library contain about 1040 coins, medals and a few decorative
plaquettes. Rather less than a third, just over 300, belonged to Dr Meric Casaubon, Canon of Canterbury
from 1628 to 1671, a considerable scholar and
prolific writer on classical, theological and philosophical subjects. He had about 69 Roman
silver and 194 Roman bronze coins, an ancient British gold
coin, two dark-age gold coins and an AngloSaxon gold bracteate, and 7 medieval coins.Dr Bargrave had fewer Roman coins, about 32 silver and 180
bronze; while Casaubon’s was strong in the 3rd century A.D.,
Bargrave’s collection was predominantly of the 1st
century. But he also had a substantial collection of about 420 coins of his own age, gold, silver and bronze, mostly
from the countries which he himself had visited, but with examples from elsewhere. His cousin, Robert
Bargrave the Levant merchant, may have given coins from Poland and Turkey, which he had visited.Dr Bargrave also had some 70 medals, including true medals of silver and bronze, especially of
the Popes of his day, with large cast lead copies from various sets of worthies made for him by the medallists of Lyons. He also had satirically anti-papal medals, two mildly obscene medals, some devotional pendants and
several decorative plaquettes of the Judgement of Paris and similar scenes.The two collections of antique coins were amalgamated into Casaubon’s cabinet in about 1748 by another Canon of Canterbury, Dr Samuel Shuckford, author of an
encyclopedic world history, who painstakingly distinguished and listed them. A high proportion of the individual coins can be
restored, on paper, to their original collections. But a draft manuscript list of some of his coins, made by Bargrave when they were in various separate batches as he had bought them, does include one or two marked by
Shuckford as Casaubon’s. This shows that some of the coins had been
confused already by the mid 18th century.Dr Casaubon may have owned a large collection of antiquities. In 1634 he published engravings of Roman pots sent to him by a local vicar. But the
only objects known to have been his are a Roman bronze ring-key, two bronze spoons, one Roman and one, with pierced bowl, 17th century, and a
moulded pellet of medicinal earth, Terra Lemnia, with its original paper label.

Gentle Traveller (Curatorial catalogue)The earliest of the three cabinets in the Cathedral Library belonged to Dr Meric
Casaubon, who bequeathed his coins to Bargrave and then the Library. It was probably made for him in Canterbury during the 1630s, but might be as late as the 1660s. It has seven drawers
surrounding a taller eighth central drawer, which has a simple applied arch-decoration, and there are fourteen coin-trays below,
incised with the strange numerals I to IIIIX (one to fourteen). The doors, bolts and lock are original and complete in every
detail. There was formerly a hasp-and-padlock fitting across the front, for which one projecting iron ear survives on the right
side.
Gentle Traveller (Curatorial catalogue)The smallest of the three cabinets belonged to Dr Bargrave and was probably made for him as a
copy of Casaubon’s by a Canterbury craftsman during the 1660s. It has eight drawers surrounding a taller ninth central drawer and thirteen coin-trays
numbered by Bargrave himself in ink from 1 to 13. While the cabinet seems very like Casaubon’s at first glance, there are many differences. The coin-trays are not all together; ten are,
like Casaubon’s, below the drawers, but three have been added above, perhaps as an afterthought while
it was being made. The tall central drawer has a lock, which Casaubon’s does not. The doors themselves,
very like Casaubon’s, are not very old and must have been added, perhaps c.1870.

AsBy a Schedule of the Coins &c
left to yeChurch,
with Dr

DrCasaubon’sCoins.
The Number of Gold Coins
left by him were ....... 7
silver Coins .......... 87
Brass Coins ........... 214.
In the foregoing Catalogue
Casaubon’sGold Coins are p. 97. ... 4.
I suspect the other 3 are (A).
in the lesser Cabinet amongst
the Gold Coins in Drawer No. 7.
but as I did not find them in
Casaubon's Cabinet, I could
not distinguish to pick them
out of the other.
In the foregoing Catalogue
of Silver Coins, I find named
to be Casaubon’s 89, & in
Drawer of the lesser Cabinet
(No. 13.) 2. In all 91. ie 4 more
than the Schedule mentions.
They were perhaps originally
not exactly counted, or 4 of
Bargrave’s are got in amongst
them.

BVR.ofOf this in a Paper put into
Dr
CasaubonsCasaubon's schedule is thus written
This Piece was coined in Spainrinis great Want of Money for so much
Weight in Gold: and will yet yet yield
so much in Spain, and is a Rarity
128129there, as I have been told.,yet I doubt it, because of the French
on the other side: It may be
but a Counter.
Note The Schedule and Paper
in it are in the uppermost
Drawer of the larger Cabinet.on the right Hand.Dr Bargrave p 81 of his
little written Account of his
Rara antiqua &c. numbers his
modern and ancient Medals of
Gold, silver and Brass to be
between 4 and 500. But I
think those, to which his
Name wasis put in the
Catalogues before going, are about
674. pProbably He had more
than He had numbered exactly:
or not having finished this
little Book, he had wrote
thus far of it, and afterwards
added to his collections.
However if DrBargravegave the Church all the Coins
mentioned in his Papers, We
129130
have since lost some of them.
In the 7 Drawer of the lesser Cabinet there are.
1. aA Piece of Charles the
first. This Dr
Bargraves in
a Paper dated April 28., 1658says is only silver Guilded.2. aA
Gold DucatPistoleseda vacante3 a. ASGold Pistole of the Prince
of orange4 a.
A little Piece of the King
of Bohemia’s Coronation
all these are mentioned in
the said Paper. But
He mentions in that Paper
another small Piece of Gold
like the last.13 gold Ducats or Hungars.
Qu? Whether the next ten
Pieces of Gold next to the Piece above
be not of them.If so; then We want 3. pieces.The two last Piecesin this 7 Drawer full of
the old Characters I believe
belong to Casaubon’s Collection
In which We therefore seem to
want one only

Gold of the Emperor Fardinand
IIId. Val: £: s: d: 4: 10: 0 sterling. We have
none of these: & probably they were
never given us.We have, (which are mentioned in that Paper).
1. a silver Medal of Pope Innocent
10th. iIt is in the Lesser Cabinet
Drawer 5, in Line 5, from the
Bottom. Medel 3d from the left2. the Medal of
Alexander VII.
It is next to the former.3. The large silver Medal of the
young Prince of orange. It is
Drawer 3. Med. 1st4. The Jubilee Piece with the
Porta Sancta next No. 1.5. We have two silver Pieces
of the Coronation of the King
of Bohemia. DrBargravesays in his Paper 2 gold & one
silver. pPerhaps He should have
wrote 2 silver and one gold, &
then We have them right.
There are also in this Paper
an account of the Rings and
131132
stones and Intaglio’s which
He had.
But all thesethe Modern Coins
Wehave should be sorted and numbered
and described, as I have done
the ancient Coins, & the
Boxes of stones might be
examined, if worth the doing,
in like Manner.
The Paper, describing themabove mentionedis in the upper Drawer of the
larger Cabinet, on the right
Hand.
Dr Bargrave was very in
curious in his Descriptions
of his Coins and Medals.
In his little Book p: 81
He says It. Titus Gold. iIt
should be Tiberius.
sSee the Coin p. 78 No 23.
It is the Athens Owl with Minerva.
sSee the Coin p. 2. pNo. 4.
It is an Athenian Piece struck
in Honour of Themistocles: The
Inscription has the Appearance
of Antique, particularly in the
132133or in πδολυνικοι,
instead of
πολυνίκῳthe ω not being in use until after
the Age of Themistocles.
Dr Bargrave mentions next
It Alexander with Bucephals Head,
silver, ancient, and 3 Legs for
sSicily.
sSee his little Book p. 81.
One atwould at first sight be at
loss to know what Alexander &
Bucephalus had to do with Sicily.
sSee the Medal p. 73. No. 2I should think this a Roman
Medal, when struck I know not.
iIt looks a beautiful one, & may
be a very good one.
When the Romans made
any conquests of Sicily, they
put the Symbol of the three
Legs upon Medals struck upon
such Conquests: We find this
Symbol upon a Coin of Augustus
upon such an occasion see
Choul p. 91.
And the Romans about the
Time of the Carthaginian War
began to put the Head of the
Goddess Roma upon the Face
of their Coins. The Symbol
134of Carthage was the Horse’s
Head and Neck, according to
the Lines of Virgil, describing
the Carthaginians to have
built their City, where they had
dug up the Head of this animal.
-------------------- Pœni
Effodere loco signum, quod regia Iuno,
monstrarat, caput aeris equi ----------- ÆAeneid. l. 1.andAnd accordingly, the Romans
when they had broke the Carthaginian Power, put the Horses Head
& neck on the Reverse of some of
their Coins of which sort, I think
are No 12. 13. 14. in p 4 of this Book
and perhaps, in this Coin before
us, the Triquetra or symbol of
Sicily is added to denote the
Romans obliging the Carthaginians to quit this Island.
whatWhat the Word κοςσαΣς
upon
this Coin means I do not know.
There are many very good Coins
in this Collection, of the Cities of
Italy. see p 5. 6. 7. &c which came
135under the Roman Power.

Sir Thomas Browne to Mr. Elias Ashmole[Asmole MS 1788, art. 17, f. 151.]
I was very well acquainted with Dr. Arthur Dee, and at one
time or other hee hath given me some account of the whole
course of his life: hee gave mee a catalogue of what his
father Dr. John Dee had writt, and what hee intended to
write, butt I think I have seen the same in some of his printed
bookes, and that catalogue hee gave me in writing I cannot
yet find. I never heard him saye one word of the booke of
spirits, sett out by Dr. Casaubone, which if hee had knowne
I make no doubt butt hee would have spoake of it unto mee,
for he was very inquisitive after any manuscripts of his father's, and desirous to print as many as hee could possibly
obtaine; and, therefore, understanding that Sir William Boswell, the English resident in Holland, had found out manyof them, which he kept in a trunck in his howse in Holland,
to my knowledge hee sent divers letters unto Sir William,
humbly desiring him that hee would not lock them up from

William answered some of his letters, acknowledging that
hee had some of his father's works not yet published, and
that they were safe from being lost, and that hee was readie
to showe them unto him, butt that hee had an intention to
print some of them himself. Dr. Arthur Dee
continued his
sollicitation, butt Sir William dying I could never heare more
of those manuscripts in his hand. I have heard the Dr. saye
that hee lived in Bohemia with his father, both at Prague and
other parts of Bohemia. That Prince or Count Rosenbergwas their great patron, who delighted much in alchymie; I
have often heard him affirme, and sometimes with oaths, that
hee had seen projection made and transmutation of pewter
dishesand flaggons into sylver, which the goldsmiths at
Prague bought of them.And that Count Rosenberg playd
at quaits with sylver quaits made by projection as before;that
this transmutation was made by a powder they had, which
was found in some old place, and a booke lying by it containing nothing butt hieroglyphicks, which booke his fatherbestowed much time upon: but I could not heare that he
could make it out.Dee sayd also that Kelly delt not justly
by his father, and that he went away with the greatest part
of the powder and was afterwards imprisoned by the Emperor in a castle, from whence attempting an escape downe
the wall, hee fell and broake his legge and was imprisoned
agayne.That his father, Dr. John Dee, presented Queen
Elizabeth with a little of the powder, who having made triall
thereof attempted to get Kelly out of prison, and sent some
to that purpose, who giving opium in drinck unto the keepers,
layd them so faste asleepe that Kelly found opportunity to
attempt an escape, and there were horses readie to carry him
away; butt the buisinesse unhappily succeeded as is before
declared. Hee sayd that his father was in good credit with
the Emperour Rodolphus, I thinck, and that hee gave him
some addition unto his coat of armes, by a mathematicall
figure added, which I thincke may bee seen at Mr. Rowland
Dee's howse, who had the picture and coat of armes of Dr.
John Dee, which Dr. Arthur Dee left at Mr. Toley's when hee

projection made in Bohemia, butt hee was so inflamed therewith, that hee fell early upon that studie and read not much
all his life but bookes of that subject, and two years before
his death contracted with one Hunniades, or Hans Hanyar,
in London, to be his operator. This Hans Hanyar having.
lived long in London and growing in years, resolved to returne into Hungarie; he went first to Amsterdam where hee
was to remain ten weeks, till Dr. Arthur came unto him.
The Dr. to my knowledge was serious in this buisinesse, and
had provided all in readinesse to goe; but suddenly hee
heard that Hans Hanyar was dead.
If hereafter any thing farther occurreth to my memorie I
shall advertize.
