*Benno (Abbot). Disquisitio Sacra Numismatica De Origine, 
Quidditate, Virtute, Pioque Usu Numismatum, Seu Crucularum 
S. Benedicti Abbatis. Vienna, 1743, 12 0 . This extremely rare 
work is of interest in connection with the following : 
* (Pfeiffer L. and C. Ruland.) Pestilentia in Nummis. Be- 
schreibendes Verzeichniss der auf Epidemien von Pest, gelbem 
Fieber, Cholera, auf Pocken-Erkrankungen und Inoculationen, 
auf Jenner, Sacco und die Vaccination, sowie der auf Hungers- 
nbthe und andere Calamitaten gepragten Medaillen. Weimar, 
1880, 8°. This, like the other Beschreibendes Verzeichniss, etc., 
already mentioned, of which it is practically the second edition, 
appeared anonymously. Medicinal-rath Pfeiffer, however, owns 
the numismatic collection upon which they are based, and Hof- 
rath Ruland has apparently written the descriptions and done 
the collating. In a manuscript inscription upon my copy of 
the first Verzeichniss, the latter gentleman speaks of himself 
as “der Verfasser” (the author).
