        Abstract
        This richly illustrated volume explores the life and work of the Austrian classical scholar Joseph Eckhel, a crucial figure in the transformation of numismatic studies into a modern discipline. It contains twenty-one essays by an interdisciplinary group of international authors examining various aspects of Eckhel’s biography and scholarly activities: his Jesuit background, his formative study trip to Italy in 1773, his work as director of the imperial collection of ancient coins and professor of numismatics at the university of Vienna (from 1774), and especially his most important publications on ancient coins as well as on gems and cameos. Furthermore, the new book considers Eckhel’s impact on contemporaries and later generations, with special regard to his role in the development of numismatic methodology in the Enlightenment and beyond.
         
        Dieser reich illustrierte Band erforscht Leben und Werk des österreichischen Altertumswissenschaftlers Joseph Eckhel, der eine entscheidende Rolle in der Transformation der Numismatik zu einer modernen Forschungsdisziplin spielte. Er enthält 21 Aufsätze einer internationalen Gruppe von Spezialisten, die im interdisziplinären Dialog verschiedene Aspekte seiner Biographie und seiner Forschungstätigkeit beleuchten: unter anderem Eckhels jesuitische Wurzeln, seine wichtige Forschungsreise nach Italien 1773, seine Arbeit als Direktor der kaiserlichen Sammlung antiker Münzen und Professor für Numismatik an der Universität Wien (ab 1774), und besonders seine wichtigsten Werke über antike Münzen sowie Gemmen und Kameen, unter denen Eckhels achtbändige „Doctrina numorum veterum“ (Wien, 1792-1798) als sein numismatisches Hauptwerk spezifische Beachtung genießt. Der neue Sammelband widmet sich auch Eckhels Wirkung auf Zeitgenossen und spätere Generationen, unter besonderer Berücksichtigung seiner Position in der numismatischen Methodengeschichte im Zeitalter der Aufklärung und darüber hinaus.
