This contribution is focused on the yemenite mints of Ta‘izz and Thab‘a ̄t during the Rasulid dinasty (626-858 AH/AD 1229-1454). Historical chronicles and literary sources are used to document the mint activity of these two closely con- nected cities, and a catalogue of more than one hundred coins struck in these ci- ties is included. The combination of different sources by nature and type – coins, manuscripts, and inscriptions – together with a historical as well as philological approach of the sources mentioned, provides a broad view of the issues, and of the medieval yemenite history, and written culture.

Abstract
This contribution is focused on the yemenite mints of Ta‘izz and Thab‘a ̄t during the Rasulid dinasty (626-858 AH/AD 1229-1454). Historical chronicles and literary sources are used to document the mint activity of these two closely con- nected cities, and a catalogue of more than one hundred coins struck in these ci- ties is included. The combination of different sources by nature and type – coins, manuscripts, and inscriptions – together with a historical as well as philological approach of the sources mentioned, provides a broad view of the issues, and of the medieval yemenite history, and written culture.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
