Diler, Omer, Sehir Lakaplari / Titles and Epithets of Islamic Towns, Baski, Istanbul, 2001, 208 pages, softcover, with text in English and Turkish. The main body of the book is a comprehensive listing of mint names and the various epithets that were associated with them. Many are accompanied by photos of coins illustrating particular mints or epithets. There is an index of epithets and the towns they modified, with synonyms of mint towns also included (e.g. Shash = Binkat), a glossary that defines the epithets in English, and a table of locations of mint towns with latitude and longitude. Finally, there is an extensive bibliography of where coins with different epithets were seen, including a substantial number of Album's price lists and other catalogues and lists. The book is generally a modern version of Zambaur and Codrington without the associations of mint names with particular dynasties or dates of issue.
