Augsburg 1735-1736 - Melchior Küsel or Moritz Krelle

Post by silverport »

Hello

»Pine cone A« is in Marc Rosenberg’s vol. I, page 32, nr. 238 = Augsburg 1735-1736

»MK« in an oval is in Marc Rosenberg’s vol. I, page 196, nr. 826:

It’s maybe

Melchior Küsel, married 1706, died 1738
or
Moritz Krelle, married 1706, died 1740

Kind regards silverport

Yet again, expert knowledge generously shared-thank you so much. Is there an English version of Marc Rosenberg's book?

»Falling in love« for Silver you would learn very quickly

Post by silverport »

Hello needtoknow

»Rosenberg« was and still is a kind of standard — but as I know, never was published a version in any foreign language, like e.g. English or French.

I work and contribute now with literature from my sixth language — well, my second I’ve start on »Epiphany« 1946 to forget totally, when we were expulsed.

But I think you’ve the same experience: If you are »falling in love« you would learn very quickly the signification of a sign, a word …

Look e.g. to Hose_dk: He contributes much sounded to a culture in a language in which he wasn’t born. And his national knowledge is in »925-1000« much needed too.

Well in the beginning it is like to be lost in the jungle of words — and wrong interpretations seem to be the »Standard«.

The Irish writer Samuel Beckett has once advised: »To fail, it doesn’t matter — try again — fail again — fail better«.

Theoderich found out that the first three of four volumes are already digitalized and be online available; for online research or download. The fourth volume on marks of other European country isn’t available yet.

Please look here; correct cited = R3 (Rosenberg 3rd edition; vol. 1 = 1922, vol. 2 = 1923, vol. 3 = 1925)

Volume 1: http://diglit.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/digl ... erg1922bd1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Volume 2: http://diglit.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/digl ... berg1922ga" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Volume 3: http://diglit.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/digl ... erg1925bd3" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Very important is, that in each volume on the end are several indexes of marks, names of silversmiths …

For final it’s like to carry coals to Newcastle: You already know where you always could ask for assistance.

Have a nice summertime!

Kind regards silverport
