STAHL HEADING TO PRINCETON

  From the press release: "The Princeton University Library is
  very pleased to announce the appointment of Alan M. Stahl
  to be Curator of Numismatics, effective 13 September 2004.
  Stahl holds a PhD in history from the University of Pennsylvania.
  From 1980 to 2000, he served as Curator of Medieval
  Coins and of Medals at the American Numismatic Society
  (New York), with responsibility for two collections containing
  about 50,000 objects in total. In addition to his curatorial work,
  Stahl has taught ancient and medieval numismatics and has
  been a visiting professor at the University of Michigan, Notre
  Dame University, and Rice University. His research and
  publications have focused on the late antique and early medieval
  world. He is the author of seven books and more than 75 articles.
  His monograph Zecca: The Mint of Venice in the Middle Ages
  (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2000) was the recipient of
  American Publishers' Professional/Scholarly Award in
  Economics (2001). His current research involves a manuscript
  notebook kept by Michael of Rhodes, a Greek seaman of the
  early 15th century.

  The Numismatic Collection of the Princeton University Library
  is in the Department of Rare Books and Special Collections,
  in Firestone Library. The collection includes nearly 10,000
  classical Greek and Roman coins; 800 Byzantine and Western
  medieval coins; thousands of late antique and early Islamic
  coins excavated at Antioch-on-the- Orantes between 1932
  and 1939; 2,000 American coins and more than 2,500 pieces
  of Colonial, Continental, and Confederate paper money;
  more than 2,000 medals, including the recently donated C. C.
  Vermeule Collection; and thousands of other items. Stahl's
  responsibilities for the Princeton Numismatic Collection will
  include acquisitions and donor relations, description and
  data-base cataloging, public services, outreach to Princeton
  faculty and students, and exhibitions. Stahl succeeds Brooks E.
  Levy, who served as Curator of Numismatics from 1966 until
  her retirement in June 2004."
