XVII-XXI)

E absenceof

mint-names

onmost of the

gold

dinars

issued

by the Umayyad and

early

'Abbsid

Caliphs

poses

a

challenging problem

of attribution

which

has

theretofore received

the

attention

itdeserves. Where

were

dinars struck?

It

would

be a

matter

of

great interest

to

how

many

mintstherewere and

justwherethey

were

forthese are

facts

that

would be of no little

value

in the

of the

economic

and

political development

of the

early

empire.

Quite recently,

in

an

article

published

in the

B ulletinde

T Institut

e

M . Marcel

Jungfleisch

has brought

forward

some

very

ious arguments which will

not

fail,

I am

sure,

to stimulate

interest

in

this

question.1In the

present article

I submit

y preliminary

contribution

to the

discussion.

A

rare

oppor- *

to

study

at first

hand

alarge numberof

Umayyad

and

'Abblsid

dinars

has

furnished

me

with

the

necessary

ma-

185

pieces

from

the

former

of expressinggreat

appreciation

of the

The series of

years

77 and 208 of the

onlyfive of

years

are

It is quite

obviousthat

any

attempt

toassign mints to the

dinarslacking mint-names

must

be based upon alargemassof

material

either examined

at first

hand

or eise

accurately

de-

scribed

or reproduced in theHterature.A cursorystudyof the

subject is enough to

convince

one

that

many,

perhaps

the

majority of the

published

mintless dinars have not been ac-

curately

described or reproducedthat is, the minute

details

upon which arguments and conclusions must rest have not, in

general, been conscientiously

reported,

M.

Jungfleisch appro-

priately

draws

attention

to

this

fact. My

good fortune, above

referred

to,

imposes upon

me the

prime

Obligationof

placing

be-

fore

the

Student this important body

of

material.

WhileI

doubt

that any

definitive

conclusions can be reached

before

a great

many

moredinars have been accurately

described,3

I have in

preparation for publication a detailed summary of the reliable

material heretofore published, together with

specific

arguments

for

the

attribution

of

over

100of the 279

varieties

of'Abbsid

mintless

dinars whichIhave been abletodistinguish.

These

attributions (many

of

them quite tentative)

are

limited

to the

dinars issued afterthe year

169

A.H.;in other words I have

at-.

tacked the problem at the easier and more vulnerable end, for

inthe last 30 years of the second, rfnd the first two decades of

the

third centuries

of the

Hijrah,

before

mint-names begin

to

appearregularly

on the

'Abbsid

dinars, there

are

many

more

3

Howgreatlysimp lifiedtheproblem wouldbe

if

provenanceandhoards

were

recorded.

Consider,forexample,theBaghdad

hoard

of30,000 (?)

dinars

whichcame to

light

on

the banks of theTigrisin

1897,

a part of which is apparently still preservedunpublished

inthe

Istanbul Museum

c f.

E.V. Zambaur

in his

obituary

of

Halil Edhem,

Mitteilungen

derNum.

Gesellschaft

inWien,II(XVIII), 7,1940,p. 131).

Thesewere mostly 'Abbsid

dinars of laterdate,but there may have

beenearlier

ones among them. In any case,

here

isanexampleofunpublished material which puts whathas so

far

been describedin the

shade.

Anotherexample is the great Ermitage collection which has been inventoriedonly

in the

most summary

fashion.


3/23

Same arly

r

abDinars 95

clues

for attribution

than

thereare in the

earlier period.

My in-

tention in

thus

working

backwards,

so tospeak,is toprovidea

firm

basis

for

further

study

and for the

eventual determination

ofcriteria for the attribution of the earlier issues.4

Itis myhope that the present articlemay

induce

readersto

re-examine the pertinent dinars in their possession or under their

care,and to publish, or otherwisemakeavailable, their fmdings.

With

such additionalmaterial I might anticipate making the

studyIhave referred to amore usefulonethan it

would

other-

wise

be.5

Inpreparing this publicationIhave taken intocon-

sideration over nine hundred dinars published in the scattered

numismatic literature in addition to those described in the pres-

ent

article.Thismight appear

to be an

impressive

number; but

the figure is

deceptive,

for

although

I

have excluded many whose

descriptions

are

obviously incomplete

orfaulty,I

have also prob-

ably

included averyconsiderable numberwhichshould for the

same reason, in a lesser

degree,

have been excluded.6 It can, =

therefore,

be readily appreciated that the accretion of additional

completely reliable evidence cannotfailtohaveafavorableeffect

onthestudyand itsconclusions.

Herewith

the listof

dinars

in the

three collections referred

A detailed

examination

of M.

Jungfleisch s

arguments,

with

whichI

fear

I cannot

wholly agree, will appear in its proper place. In brief,he is disposed to see in certain of

the

secretpoints indicators of theinitiallettersof thenamesof them intsatwhich given

dinars werestruck.Heconfessesthat

les

deductions. . .comportentencoreunebonne

part

d'hypothese.

Particulars

aside,

I

feelthat

a

much larger body

ofevidence

must

be

assembled

and that the argument must be built,

s

I say, upon a more secure foundation;

andit is forthese reasonsthatIamapproaching theproblemin thepresent fashion.

I

would

welcome

andgratefully acknowledge descriptions, castsorphotographs for-

warded
