EARLY MEDIEVAL AND ISLAMIC. Samarian Coinage. Shraga Qedar (1999). Hardcover with dust jacket, 160 pages, with 31 pages of strong photographic plates. The definitive modern reference for the coinage of ancient Samaria, developed from the work of the late Professor Ya?akov Meshorer in collaboration with Qedar, and cataloguing 224 different Samarian coin types in a clear and practical format that makes it highly useful for attribution, catalogue work, and wider background study. An important specialist reference, valued both for the strength of its photographic coverage and for the orderly presentation of a historically important and often difficult series. Covers with light wear and shelf dust, spine fading, showing age and use; overall the book is in VG condition. From the personal reference library of David Allen, a well known numismatist, formed over more than 50 years and used as a long term reference for research, attribution, and catalogue work.
