This volume of Medieval European Coinage deals with the coinage of south Italy, Sicily and Sardinia between the mid-tenth century, when Part I ended, and the reign of Ferdinand the Catholic, on the threshold of the modern era. It thus covers very different coinages of the immediate pre-Norman period and those of the Norman, Hohenstaufen, Angevin and Aragonese dynasties, which in turn ruled part or the whole of the Mezzogiorno. The complex background to the history of this region makes its coinages among the most interesting of medieval Europe. They have rarely been studied together or in a single volume, and the work, which makes extensive use of written evidence and coin finds, will take its place as the standard work of reference for the foreseeable future.

This volume of Medieval European Coinage is the first English-language survey to bring the latest research on the coinage of Spain and Portugal c.1000-1500 to an international audience. A major work of reference by leading numismatic experts, the volume provides an authoritative and up-to-date account of the coinages of Aragon, Catalonia, Castile, Leon, Navarre and Portugal, which have rarely been studied together. It considers how money circulated throughout the peninsula, offering new syntheses of the monetary history of the individual kingdoms and includes an extensive catalogue of the Aragonese, Castilian, Catalan, Leonese, Navarrese and Portuguese coins in the collection of the Fitzwilliam Museum. This major contribution to the field will be a valuable point of reference for the study of medieval history, numismatics and archaeology.

This, the first volume of Medieval European Coinage, surveys the coinage of Western Europe from the fall of the Roman Empire in the West in the fifth century to the emergence of recognizable 'national' political units in the tenth. It starts with the Vandals, Visigoths, Burgundians and other Germanic invaders of the Empire, whose coins were modelled on contemporary issues of the Western or Eastern emperors. The coinage of the Franks is followed from early Merovingian times through to the establishment and subsequent fragmentation of the Carolingian empire. Italy is represented by the coinages of the Ostrogoths, Lombards, Carolingians and popes down to the Ottoman conquest in the mid-tenth century. The coinage of the Anglo-Saxons is traced from the introduction of minting in the early seventh century to the emergence of a united kingdom during the first half of the tenth century, including the aberrant coinages of Northumbria and the Anglo-Viking coinages of the Danelaw.

This book, first published in 1991, is a full study of early Hellenistic coinage. It provides a general history of the coinage of Alexander the Great and his successors, and of the cities of Greece and Asia Minor, over the century and a half 336-188 BC. Dr Morkholm's detailed descriptions of the coins, and the 40 pages of plates illustrating over 600 items, will provide a standard work of reference for ancient historians, numismatists and collectors. His original intention was to write a survey of Hellenistic coinage down to the Roman acquisition of Egypt in 30 BC, but he died with his project only half finished. The survey of early Hellenistic coinage, however, is complete in itself. A short epilogue has been added by Professor Grierson describing the main features of the coinage after 188 BC.

In volume 2 of this series, Part I examines Phocas and Heraclius (602-641) and Part II covers the period between Heraclius Constantine to Theodosius III (602-717).

This volume is in two parts. Part I covers the reigns of Alexius I to Alexius V (1081-1204), and Part II covers the emperors of Nicea and their contemporaries (1204-1261).

Text extracted from opening pages of book: BOOKS ON SOVIET RUSSIA 1917-1942 A Bibliography and a Guide to Heading by PHILIP GRIERSON, M. A. FELLOW OF GONVILLE AND CAIU8 COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE METHUEN & CO. LTD., LONDON 36 Essex Street, Strand, , W. C. 2 First published in 1943 BOOK PRODUCTION VMEOKDMY THIS BOOK IS PRODUCED IN COMPLETE CONFORMITY WITH THE AUTHORISED ECONOMY STANDARD PU1MT1E1> IN GREAT BRITAIN PREFACE THIS book represents the first attempt to compile a list of books and pamphlets on post-revolutionary Russia that have been published in Great Britain. The period that it covers is the twenty-five years between February 1917 and the end of June 1942. But a mere list of names and titles, while it might be of value to a fairly restricted class of librarians and booksellers, would be of little use to the general public, and there is at present a serious need for some kind of guide to the enormous and very varied literature in existence on the Soviet Union. I have therefore tried to make the bibliography acceptable to a wider public by including in it a certain number of works chiefly collections of documents and personal memoirs * published outside Great Britain, mainly in the United States or in the Soviet Union and occasionally in languages other than English, and by adding to each item a note on its character and the point of view from which it is written. In both these features the personal factor is involved, and it is in them that I shall probably lay myself most open to criticism. The choice of foreign works has depended on the extent and the vagaries of my own reading and knowledge to some degree also on my estimate of the availability in England of the books I mention andit will probably strike any expert as most unsatisfactory. But while it would no doubt have been very desirable to have planned something on the lines of Kerner's Slavic Europe, there are insuperable obstacles to attempting such, a compilation under present circumstances. Too many libraries are inac cessible, and it is either difficult or impossible to communicate with scholars and publishers in other countries. I hope, how* ever, that my references to foreign literature may be found to be of use, though I give them with the proviso that no attempt has been made to render them systematic and that many excellent works have been left out altogether. The comments on books and pamphlets are only intended to serve as a rough guide to their character. I have tried to be as objective as possible, and my judgments will, I think, vi BOOKS ON SOVIET RUSSIA usually be found to err on the side of charity. My object otherwise has been to give only those items of information which will enable a reader to identify a book or pamphlet easily: the author's name, the exact title, the number of pages, the publisher's name and the date of publication. Some details which a strict bibliographer might like to include, but which are of no practical importance, have been omitted. For example, if a book, printed in the USSR, was published in May 1983 and reprinted in England later in the same year, the fact that one edition was printed in England and the other was not has not been recorded unless there were other differences between them. When a work has been reprinted a number of times without any change, the exact dates of each reprint have been omitted. It need scarcely be pointed out that a fairly largeproportion of the books and the great bulk of the pamph lets mentioned in this bibliography are long since out of print; they can only be obtained second-hand or consulted in a library. It has not always been easy to decide what items should be included and what should be left out. The limitation to books and pamphlets has been fairly strictly followed; only a few articles in periodicals have been included for reference purposes, and off-prints of articles have been omitted unless they were clearly put on the market as pamphlets. A few books published in the early ye

Part I includes the introduction, appendices and bibliography while Part II continues with the catalogue, concordances and indexes.

This is the first fully illustrated catalogue of a major collection of late Roman and early Byzantine imperial coins. It follows the general layout of the Byzantine volumes in the Dumbarton Oaks series, with a substantial introduction dealing with the history of the coinage, including iconography, mints, and monetary system. In this volume, however, all the coins are illustrated in the plates.
