Die Münzstätte Hamah

Sylloge Numorum Arabicorum Tübingen IVc Bilad as-Sam III

Among the public collections of Islamic coins, a historical source genre as rich as it is regularly flowing, that of the University of Tübingen occupies a top position. The series of publications (ISSN 0945-4020) begun with the coinages of the Palestinian area is continued in this Sylloge volume with the 708 silver and copper coins of the minting place Hamah on the Orontes.

  • Hamah was the most important city between Damascus and Aleppo during the high and late Middle Ages, seat of a separate principality of the Ayyubids, the family of Saladin. The continuous coinage, partly in the name of the local princes, partly in the name of the sultans of Damascus and Cairo, from about 1178 to 1430 is almost completely documented in the Tübingen collection. It supplements the previously known stock of coinage data as considerably as corrections of earlier readings became necessary. In the introduction Lorenz Korn gives an overview of the history of the city and its coinage. Each coin is described in detail and illustrated on a plate opposite the descriptions. The editor has systematically included references to the few types of Hamah coins not available in Tübingen, giving this collection catalog the character of a mint monograph.
