Synopsis

The Coinage of the Tulunids: Numismatic Notes and Monographs, No. 139 is a book written by Oleg Grabar that explores the history and coinage of the Tulunids, a dynasty that ruled Egypt and Syria during the 9th and 10th centuries. The book provides a detailed analysis of the coins minted by the Tulunids, including their designs, inscriptions, and metallurgical properties. It also examines the political and economic context in which the coins were produced, shedding light on the Tulunids' relations with neighboring states and their role in the wider Islamic world. The book is an invaluable resource for historians, numismatists, and anyone interested in the history of the Middle East.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
