Islamic History through Coins: An Analysis and Catalogue of Tenth-Century Ikhshidid Coinage

Islamic History through Coins: An Analysis and Catalogue of Tenth-Century Ikhshidid Coinage Book Reviews 149 especially to Europe. Islamic medicine had a huge influence on Europe, which persisted longer than is often thought. Despite the Renaissance emphasis on original Greek texts, which continued to be informed and defined by a Galenism in Latino-Arabic garb, Ibn Sina¯’s Canon, for instance, came to dominate the medical discourse and was printed in various forms at least sixty times between 906/1500 and 1085/1674. Medieval traditions continued under the Ottomans, though they faced the gradual intrusion of European ideas. Moreover, in India and Pakistan ‘‘Unani medicine’’ continued and is still recognised by governments alongside Ayurvedic and Western traditions. The last fifteen pages include the index of names, works and lists of the names of all historical personalities and authors presented in the book. This book represents an outstanding contribution to a very important field, and could be considered the best and most critical recent introduction to the field and a guide for future research.
