Medieval European Coinage Ser.: Medieval European Coinage: Volume 14, South Italy, Sicily, Sardinia : With a Catalogue of the Coins in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge by Lucia. Travaini and Philip Grierson (2009, Trade Paperback)
This volume of Medieval European Coinage deals with the coinage of south Italy, Sicily and Sardinia between the mid-tenth century, when Volume 1 ended, and the reign of Ferdinand the Catholic, on the threshold of the modern era. It thus covers very different coinages of the immediate pre-Norman period and those of the Norman, Hohenstaufen, Angevin and Aragonese dynasties which in turn ruled part or the whole of the Mezzogiorno. The complex background to the history of this region makes its coinages among the most interesting of medieval Europe.

Reviews
"...remarkable monument to scholarship...intriguing observations...a breathtaking work." Andre Gunder Frank, The International History Review, Review of the hardback: 'With its careful analysis and exhaustive bibliography, this volume will serve well as a handbook for the historian dealing with the economy of medieval southern Italy as well as for the numismatist classifying its coinage. When all of the volumes of the series are available, we will at least have the basis for a comprehensive view of the monetary development of medieval Europe.' Journal of European Economic History
