Viacheslav S. Kuleshov 512 pages · Hardcover

The second part of the comprehensive die corpus of Western Mediterranean Islamic silver coinages — an essential reference work in Islamic numismatics.

Based on large-scale die-link analysis, this volume documents silver dirhams struck in the western Mediterranean world from AH 133 to AH 399 (750/751–1008/1009 AD), including Umayyad of al-Andalus, Idrisid, Aghlabid, and contemporaneous issues in silver. The reconstruction of die chains and die relationships refines chronological sequences and contributes to a more precise understanding of monetary production across the western Islamic world.

The volume includes:

• A complete die corpus arranged by date
• Identification and mapping of die links and die chains
• Analysis of epigraphic formulas and their variations
• High-quality illustrations supporting die comparison
• An apparatus facilitating cross-reference and citation

Designed for numismatists, historians of medieval Islam, al-Maghrib and al-Andalus, museum curators, and advanced collectors. This corpus establishes a foundational framework for chronological, quantitative, and comparative research in western Mediterranean Islamic numismatics.
