Name

Sperling, Dr. Emil Andreas (1819-1863 (1864?))

Translator (dragoman) of the Royal Prussian embassy in Constantinople. Born in Trier.

Sperling published a number of articles on geography and is often referred to as a source in archaeological, historical, and epigraphical reports.

A manuscript inventory of his collection of coins (from 1862) is now kept in the Münzkabinett Berlin.

His collection was aquired by the Berlin coin cabinet in two parts: One in 1862 [Acc. 1862/28623 on 4 December 1862 for 850 Talers] and the second in 1864 [Acc. 1864/28674.1-103 & 1864/28675.1-48, both on 12 May 1864].
