ERNOUL (Belg.). Die-sinker, cited in 14 1 3 , when he was Coinengraver at the Mint of Ghent. He probably succeeded to Jena Belin, under Jean sans Peur. Having contracted debts, Ernoul ran away with the coining-dies ; all endeavours to find him in Flan ders, Holland, Zeeland, and Brabant, were made in vain. This engraver is supposed to be the author of a jeton, struck at Ghent in 1416, for the Chambre des Comptes of Flanders, at Lille ; 299 speci- mens in silver, weighing 4 Marks 6 Ounces 12 Esterlins, were delivered to Jean Gobelet, private Mint-master of Ghent.

To understand however the vast influence he has exercised upon German an...
