Watch List notes:

Nicol, Norman D. et al., Catalog of the Islamic Coins, Glass Weights, Dies and Medals in the Egyptian National Library, 1982 Malibu, Undena Publications, 313 pages, 28 plates, part of the American Research Center in Egypt series, this publication by Norman D. Nicol, Raafat el-Nabarawy, and Jere L. Bacharach, was typed by hand by Nicol and included basic data such as weight and diameter on each item and references to numismatic literature where similar items could be found. The Nicol-al-Nabarawy work was superior to the old Lane-Poole volume in many ways as significantly more coins were listed and data on glass weights, dies and medals were included. However, costs and even technology impacted the final product and relatively few Arabic inscriptions were transcribed into the text while the number of images, which had to be printed on higher quality paper, was limited to approximately 5% of the collection with none in color, signed by the author, ex Norman D. Nicol Library.
