540 An account of eight Kujic Silver Coins. [No. 7. 



Appendix 2. Numi Muhammedani incerti. 



Professor Frsehn's miscellaneous Essays, relating to Mediseval Ara- 

 bic Numismatics, are both numerous and important. Among the rest 

 may be cited 



1. Novse Symbolse ad rem Numariam Muhammedanorum, &c. 

 St. Petersburg, 1819, pp. 47. 



2. Numi Kufici ex variis museis selecti. St. Petersburg, 1823, pp. 

 84, 4 plates. 



3. Die Miinzen der Chane von ulus Dsehutschi's oder von der 

 Goldenen Horde. St. Petersburg, 1832, pp. 75, 14 plates. 



J. H. Miiller's work, "De numis orientalibus in Numophylacio 

 Gothano asservatis," (Gotha, 1826, 4to. pp. 187, and supl. 1841, pp. 

 61.) offers, in its first part, a complete Catalogue raisonne of all 

 Kufic Coins previously published, together with the author's own'new 

 contributions, embracing the period from A. H. 77 to A. H. 663. 

 The second part contains a continuation of the Mohammedan series 

 down to 1232 A. H. 



The compilation is one of much value as a book of reference where 

 necessary, the various subjects are ably handled in detail and the 

 whole undertaking is made complete by copious Indices and Lists of 

 authorities both European and Oriental. 



As connected with the general subject, I could cite an elaborate 

 Monographic on the Coins of the Bouides by Lindberg, printed in the 

 Mem. de la Soc. des Antiq. du Nord (1844) : Some admirable letters 

 published in the Paris Journal Asiatique by M. DeSaulcy, and many 

 miscellaneous contributions of the same nature from time to time put 

 forth in the form of detached letters by M. Soret of Geneva. 



Marsden's " Numismata Orientalia" (Lond. 1823,) though desig- 

 nated by a late French writer as " si plein des inexactitudes, si de pourvu 

 de critique," (Rev. Num. Paris, 1849,) is extremely valuable, in what 

 nearly all continental publications fail in, — the number and perfection 

 of its illustrations.
