Album, Stephen, Sylloge of Islamic Coins in the Ashmolean: Volume 10 Arabia and East Africa, Oxford, 1999, 58 pages, 34 plates, hardcover with dust jacket. This is a fantastic and welcome volume on the coins in the Ashmolean, particularly the Shamma collection. It is the only recent and relatively comprehensive work on Arabian (especially Yemen) and East African dynasties. Dynasties covered in the catalogue are Abbasid, Fatimid, Rasulid, Qasimid, Sulayhid, Ziyadid, Najjahid, Mahdid, Ayyubid, Rassid, 'Alid Rebel, Khwalanid, Amirs of 'Athar, Tarafid, Zuray'id, Banu Sama, Wajihid, Buwayhid, Mukramid, Umayyad, Ikhshidid, Qarmatid, Harar, Kilwa, Mogadishu, Mombasa, Pemba and Zanzibar. Every coin is photographed (not always clearly), legends are written out in Arabic, there is good introductory material, and a fantastic bibliography and index. The book to have if you need the Arabian Peninsula or East Africa, ex Libris Norman D. Nicol.
