Jacopo Strada (c. 1515-1588), antiquarian, architect and antiquities dealer, created a 30-volume corpus, the "Magnum ac Novum Opus" (MaNO), for his patron Johann Jakob Fugger in the mid-16th century. The project brings together Jacopo Stradas numismatic corpus, analyses it in its historical and artistic context, researches the sources and elaborates its significance for the scientific history of numismatics and antiquarian research in the 16th century. The editors are Dr Volker Heenes and Dr Dirk Jacob Jansen.
