en Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 oct 2020
Coinage and Money in Medieval Greece 1200-1430, by Julian Baker, is a monetary history of medieval Thessaly, mainland Greece and the Peloponnese, Epiros, and adjacent islands. The central focus of the book is the record of coin finds and coin types, which this study presents in a fully developed political, socio-economic, military, and archaeological/topographical context.
In medieval Greece there is a strong symbiosis between monetary and historical developments. The general level of documentation is also vastly superior to the preceding middle Byzantine period. Volume Two presents and evaluates these data. Volume One offers analyses on major historical themes, which demonstrate that the monetary sources can hold narratives in their own rights, complementing and at times contradicting the established accounts.

This volume was awarded the Médaille Allier de Hauteroche de l’Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres in 2021: "MCette médaille a été décernée à M. Julian Baker pour son ouvrage en 2 vol. intitulé : Coinage and Money in Medieval Greece 1200-1430 (Leyden, Brill, 2020)."

Recenzii

"Julian Baker has long been an authority in the field of coinage in medieval Greece and the Eastern Mediterranean and now his expertise materialises in this massive two-volume book, based on the evidence of coin finds and coin types analysed within a vast political, socio-economic, military, and archaeological framework. [...] The author has a perfect competence not only of the material but significantly of the languages of the vast literature on the topic, displayed in an impressive general bibliography at the end of vol. 1 [...] Volume 2 consists of the indispensable Appendices: the fruit of painstaking work on all finds and identifications. [...] At the end of the first volume Baker concludes that there is still a lot of work to be done to clarify many aspects, but I think that he has indeed clarified very many aspects himself, setting them in a wide frame which will open the path to new research. One would say that this massive achievement is the work of a life. Baker is, however, rather young, and we wish him the same energy to continue working so that much more can be expected from him."
Lucia Travaini in The Numismatic Chronicle 181
