NEW BOOK ON COINS OF BABUR PUBLISHED IN PAKISTAN

An E-Sylum reader forwarded this report on a new numismatic book
published in Pakistan:

"The monograph "Zahiriddin Muhammad Babur. Numismatic research" has
been issued in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. The author of the
book is Aman-ur Rahman...

"His book [is] devoted to the anthology of the coin's production during
the period of the rule of the great poet and statesman Zahiriddin
Muhammad Babur and his descendants - Humoyun Mirzo, Komron Mirzo and
others. The monograph was written based on the studies of the coins
collected by the author in the region and the collection of coins of
the period of Babur's reign now preserved at the museums of the Great
Britain, Germany and Pakistan. The book contains vast information on
the events connected with Babur's lifetime."

Full Story

[The report does not indicate where to purchase the book, and I was
unable to find a reference online. According to the February 2007
ANS E-News, the Royal Numismatic Society has awarded the book its 2007
Shamma Prize together with Jere Bachrach's book, "Islamic History
Through Coins. An Analysis and Catalogue of Tenth-Century Ikhshidid
Coinage." So I asked Frank Campbell, Librarian of the American
Numismatic Society.  He writes: "The mailing address in this country
for the Bacharach volume is:

The American University in Cairo Press
420 Fifth Avenue,
New York, NY 10018

It can also be ordered from their website (www.aucpress.com). The
Aman Ur-Rahman volume can be ordered from the website
www.reeshabooks.com."
