' Description  TREADWELL, LUKE Buyid Coinage, A die corpus (322-445 A.H.). Oxford, 2001. xxxix (1) 247 (1) pages, 172 plates (4). Cloth. 'This is a catalogue of medieval Iraqi and Iranian coinage, struck by the buyid dynasty during the 10-11th centuries A.D. The coinage was struck in the regions of Fars, Kirman, Uman, Khuzistan, Iraq, the Jibal and the Caspian region. The series is of interest because it is one of the earliest and most plentiful regional coinages of the post-modern Islamic world. It displays an exceptional diversity of fabric, morphology and inscriptional content. The catalogue draws on all the major public collections of Islamic coinage in the western world, as well as several private collections and includes several thousand coins. It describes and illustrates every die which has been indentified as belonging to the series and represents a new departure in the field of Islamic numismatics, which hitherto has not produced any large scale studies. The density of coverage will provide the basis for analysis of several historical problems of a monetary and political nature which have not yet been examined.' Place a Bid!
