Byzantine and Early Medieval Western European Coins in the Hunter Coin Cabinet, University of Glasgow (Hunterian Coin Collection, Part 6). J. D. Bateson and I. G. Campbell (London, Spink, 1998). 180 pages, 29 plates, blue cloth with dust jacket. A substantial institutional catalogue of the Hunter Coin Cabinet, describing 569 Byzantine coins and 156 early medieval Western European coins, with the latter heavily represented by Ostrogothic and Merovingian issues, and reflecting the long standing strength of the Hunterian series in Byzantine gold. The catalogue is especially valuable for its provenance and collection history, including material from the Joseph de France collection acquired by William Hunter in Vienna in 1782, and for its coverage of rare, unpublished, and in some cases unique specimens, presented in the consistent scholarly format used across the Hunterian published series. The illustration program is notably strong, with all of the early medieval Western European coins illustrated, together with the Byzantine gold and silver issues and a representative selection of the Byzantine bronze, making the volume a dependable working reference for attribution, comparative study, and research into both Byzantine and post-Roman western coinages. Paper cover with light wear and shelf dust, original book cover is in great condition, overall VG from many years of use. 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. |
