The E-Sylum: Volume 3, Number 19, May 7, 2000, Article 9CATALOGUE versus CATALOGDick Johnson writes: "Catalogue is a proper term in England (and France). In America the proper term is CATALOG. For Americans to use the term CATALOGUE comes off a little ostentatious (read "show off"). Thank goodness however, we have no American dealers who COULD use the term SYLLOGE (which means "the systematically arranged contents of a collection"). As for 'catalogues", George Kolbe confirms: "It's less serious if you pay for it. ;-)" Wayne Homren, EditorContent presented in The E-Sylum is not necessarily researched or independently fact-checked, and views expressed do not necessarily represent those of the Numismatic Bibliomania Society.
