Nicol, Norman D., Sylloge of Islamic Coins in the Ashmolean: Volume 6 The Egyptian Dynasties, Oxford, 2007, 103 pages, 82 plates, hardcover with dustcover. Description and clear photographs of 1584 coins in the Ashmolean collection. Includes Tulunid, Ikhshidid, Fatimid, Zengid, Ayyubid and Mamluk coins. Unlike previous volumes in this series, this one is organized by dynasty, then ruler, then mint. The collections included in the catalogue are those of the Heberden Coin Room and the Shamma Collection. Unlike previous SICA volumes, the coins are arranged by dynasty and ruler because of the large number of distinctive types belonging to each dynasty's coinage. Another exceptional addition to this series.
