Medieval European Coinage: Volume 14, South Italy, Sicily, Sardinia : With a Catalogue of the Coins in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge Paperback / softback
by Philip (University of Cambridge) Grierson, Lucia (University of Cambridge) Travaini
Part of the Medieval European Coinage series
Paperback / softback
Description
This volume of Medieval European Coinage deals with the coinage of south Italy, Sicily and Sardinia between the mid-tenth century, when Part I ended, and the reign of Ferdinand the Catholic, on the threshold of the modern era.
It thus covers very different coinages of the immediate pre-Norman period and those of the Norman, Hohenstaufen, Angevin and Aragonese dynasties, which in turn ruled part or the whole of the Mezzogiorno.
The complex background to the history of this region makes its coinages among the most interesting of medieval Europe.
They have rarely been studied together or in a single volume, and the work, which makes extensive use of written evidence and coin finds, will take its place as the standard work of reference for the foreseeable future.
