Heidemann, Stefan, Die Renaissance der Staedte in Nordsyrien und Nordmesopotamien, E. J. Brill, Leiden, 2002, 530 pages, hardcover with dust jacket. A wonderful history of northern Syria and northern Mesopotamia in the 5th/11th and 6th/12th centuries based on, inter alia, numismatic sources. The dynasties covered are the Numayrids, Seljuqs, Rum Seljuqs, Artuqids, 'Uqaylids, Abbasids and Hamdanids, with the emphasis being placed on the Numayrids. The primary mints for coins in the study are Harran, ar-Raqqa and ar-Ruha. There are very good photographic plates of 69 coins. Otherwise, the book is all text. This is the only publication I know of that covers the Numayrids, full title as "Die Renaissance der Staedte in Nordsyrien und Nordmesopotamien: Staedtische Entwicklung und wirtschaftliche Bedingungen in ar-Raqqa und Harran von der Zeit der beduinischen Vorherrschaft bis zu den Seldschuken," text in German, ex James Farr Collection Library.
