Specialist Notes

I work: First edition of this important treatise on the numismatic collections preserved in the Bourbon Museum with a rich iconographic apparatus of the engraver Andrea Russo. It focuses in particular on Kufic coins, that is, those minted by the Normans between the 11th and 12th centuries. The Arabic characters in the text are from the Bodoni printing house. & Nbsp;
