<p>[QUOTE="Quant.Geek, post: 2335027, member: 74799"]You don't need to go to the library to learn about Byzantine coins as almost everything is available on the web for free including scholarly journals, catalogs, and university blogs. They are all legally available, and hence not pirated. You just need to be good at using Google Search and Google Translate as well being creative in what you are looking for <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Most of my transliterations were done this way and I didn't even step into a library or purchase a book. This includes just about ANY language, other than Mongolian which I am currently having problems with <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, Grierson's <i>Byzantine Coinage</i> book is available for free at DOC:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.doaks.org/resources/publications/doaks-online-publications/byzantine-coinage/byzcoins.pdf/at_download/file" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.doaks.org/resources/publications/doaks-online-publications/byzantine-coinage/byzcoins.pdf/at_download/file" rel="nofollow">http://www.doaks.org/resources/publications/doaks-online-publications/byzantine-coinage/byzcoins.pdf/at_download/file</a></p><p><br /></p><p>as well as Andreas Urs Sommer's <i>Katalog der Byzantinischen Münzen:</i></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.univerlag.uni-goettingen.de/handle/3/isbn-3-930457-30-X" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.univerlag.uni-goettingen.de/handle/3/isbn-3-930457-30-X" rel="nofollow">http://www.univerlag.uni-goettingen.de/handle/3/isbn-3-930457-30-X</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Regards,</p><p><br /></p><p>QG[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
