Hohertz, H. Edmund, A Catalog of the Square Islamic Coins of Spain, Portugal, and North Africa, 1130-1816 A.D., Wooster Book Company, Wooster, Ohio, 2008, 314 pages including 15 plates, softcover. A beautiful compilation of all known square Islamic coins. Each type is illustrated with a very clear line drawing, and Arabic legends are written out separately and translated. Dynasties included are Muwahhid (Almohad), the Taifas Almohad Algarbe, Ceuta, Lorca, Seville and Valencia, Nardis, Hudid, Hafsis, Merinid, Wattasid, Sa'dian Sharifs, Ottoman, and several unidentified coins. There is also a long section of Millares, Spanish imitations of anonymous Muwahhid coins. There is an index of all coin inscriptions with translations, including Koranic phrases, other religious phrases and selected words, names, and mint-related words. There is a table of concordances with Vives, Hazard and Medina, index of dates found on the coins, and a great index of mint names showing the name in proper Arabic and in the style as found on the coin. Finally, there is a good map of the mint locations and an extensive bibliography. Ed Hohertz has done a marvelous job, and anyone interested in learning about these coins should have a copy of this book, ex James Farr Collection Library.
