MEIT, CONRAD
MEIT, CONRAD (Germ.). Sculptor to the Archduchess Margarethe, a friend of Albrecht Dürer, who worked some time at Wittenberg, in the early part of the sixteenth century.

MELIOLUS
MELIOLUS or MELIOLI, BARTOLOMEO (Ital.). Goldsmith and Medallist of Mantua, born in 1448, died in 1514.

The other coins of that reign, which rank amongst the best monetary productions of the Italian Renaissan...
