the scope of this study
Historical Numismatic Archaeological
The purpose of CJSTUDY.ORG is to inform all who might benefit from being made aware of this project during the research phase, and who may wish to bring information related to its scope to my attention.
The scope of this research into the earliest silver coinage issued during the reign of Charles and Joanna considers its historical setting and the rulers who promulgated its issue; all facets of its purpose, design, manufacture, transport, and authentication; the extant material evidence; documentary testimony; and much additional data preserved by numismatists, archaeologists, historians, and curators. The magnitude of production during the sixteenth century was such that the coins are readily found in museums, as well as various types of private and public collections, where they can be safeguarded, appreciated, and studied.
Historians whose work has focused on Medieval and Renaissance Spain provide critical insight into the deeply learned and complex culture its civilization created throughout the Medieval and Renaissance period. This study reinforces and extends the significance of historical scholarship for our understanding of these coins. Notification of specialists whose past and current work focuses on the Spanish monarchs and their reigns will be warmly received.
Numismatic scholarship advances through the shared observations and effort of a diverse and vibrant numismatic community, its institutional as well as individual members carefully preserving the history and condition of the objects they contemplate, and endeavor to understand. Should you, or your order, chapter, society, or organization hold coins, seals, photographs, or information pertinent to this study, notification of these objects under your protection that may help the quality of this research be as comprehensive as possible would be most welcome.
Notice of professionals with expertise in materials science and analysis, particularly of numismatic objects, together with artisans and historians having advanced knowledge and experience with applied R&I into foundry and/or minting history and technology, will be of great interest.
Archaeologists discover, document, recover, and preserve both artifacts and knowledge of the past, from destruction and corruption. Beyond the primary historical and numismatic objectives, this project is intended as a service especially to nautical archaeology and its critical requirements for valid numismatic data compatible with its methodologies and scholarship; then radiating outward to curators of public and privately managed collections. This research endeavors to become aware of and account for the totality of the extant evidence brought to light through archaeological excavation and preservation. Terrestrial and submerged archaeological resources that have been properly recovered and documented are of paramount importance for our understanding of these coins. As Dr. Peter Van Alfen has perspicaciously understood and asserted— every individual coin matters. In my pursuit of a thorough understanding of this archaeological evidence, should your institution or organization hold coins or artifacts, photographs, reports, or data pertinent to this purpose, I would welcome the opportunity to be in touch with you, and to learn of past research and current ventures relevant to this project.
Archaeologists and maritime historians whose shipwreck studies provide for the models, records, and uncertainties of the fleet system during the sixteenth century would be of significant relevance.
Scholars whose work and expertise involves philological preparation, analysis, and translation of Late Medieval Spanish mss, municipal records, and archival documents are of special interest for this research, and I would be thankful for their interest in this study.
If you are a numismatist or institution possessing numismatic material or bibliographic works germane to this project, in public or private collections of which I may not yet be aware, I would be pleased to learn of them in order to sustain the record of these unknown collections and resources for future scholars. Ethical numismatic practice makes it imperative that we preserve every significant part of our shared effort and its record, in this quest to understand these fascinating objects of our past. In the interest of preserving the memory and contributions of numismatists who likewise wondered about, studied, and admired these majestic coins, notice of personal research notes, data, and records in your care — archived or unpublished — will be gladly received.
