N2  - The French antiquarian Nicolas-Claude Fabri de Peiresc (1580-1637) visited the Flemish painter and architect Wenceslas Cobergher (1560 circa-1634) in Brussels in July 1606. During their discussions concerning Cobergher?s drawings, the artist revealed to Peiresc his project for the publication of four books on antiquities. The French antiquarian recorded carefully what Cobergher recounted. Wenceslas Cobergher?s project had attracted the attention of the French antiquarian Jacob Spon, der den Nachlass von Peiresc?s papers concerning Cobergher were found, transcribed and published by Joseph van den Gheyn in 1905. Cobergers books were to treat 1) ancient architecture, 2) ancient painting and sculpture, 3) the images of the ancient deities, and 4) ancient coins. Cobergher?s project represents the continuation of topics presented more fully in FONTES 38 and FONTES 39 (Jacob Spon?s classification system for the study of archaeology and Jacques Paul Babin?s description of Athens), as well as a supplement and complement to them.

N2  - In 1679 the French doctor and archaeologist Jacob Spon (Lyon 1647 ? Vevey 1685) published a carefully elaborated classification system for the the study of archaeology, a systematic which holds an important place in the history of art and archaeology and in the history of scholarship. Spon?s classification system resulted from his intensive studies of the ancient written sources and monuments, in particular, numismatics, inscriptions, works of art and objects of everyday life. Above all the tangible remains of antiquity represented an indispensible documentation for the true reconstruction of ancient history. Spon?s analysis was published twice in 1679, a Latin version in his "Miscellanea eruditae antiquitatis" and a French version, which provides a wider background to his progamm, in his "Réponse a la critique publiée par M. Guillet". Both texts are presented here. In the introduction Spon?s methods as an archaeologist, as evidenced in his writings, are defined, and an overview of his work in its historical context is provided.
