The author takes the reader through all the aspects of reading medieval European coins. He explains the styles of medieval letters, together with the idiosyncrasies of minting. Chapters on abbreviations, monograms and word separators are of great importance, along with medieval numismatic grammer. Latin, the primary numismatic language, is an important section. Another provides a brief acquaintance with other languages such as Slavonic, Arabic, Greek, Hebrew and other vernacular languages.</p><p>&nbsp; The helpful appendicies include (a) an illustrative list of personal names, (b) titles on medieval European coins, (c) useful words found on medieval coins, and (d) sample religious legends on medieval coins.&nbsp; Also includes an expanded and updated bibliography by Allen G.

THOMSEN COLLECTION by Kristian Erslev with Addenda by Alan M. Stahl &amp; Allen G. Berman.&nbsp; ($69.50). </b> I borrowed it from the ANA for some research and was very happy with the utility.&nbsp; And borrowing from the ANA library is another option, of course, if you are an ANA member.</font></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
