A short bibliography

The homage rendered legitimate by the French Society of Numismatics Francoise Dumas is the volume of 2008 (vol.164) Journal of Numismatics a very large number of articles on medieval numismatics.
In my case, among the extensive bibliography of Francoise Dumas (given on pages 11-20 of this issue), I was particularly marked by the following structures:

1. DUMAS, F. The coinage of the Dukes of Burgundy . (Universite Catholique de Louvain Higher Institute of Archaeology and History Art Seminary Numismatic Marcel Hoc: Louvain-la-Neuve, 1988).
2. DUMAS, F. & Barrandon, J. The title and the weight of currencies late in the reign of Philippe Auguste (1180-1223). 103 (1982).
3. Dumas-Dubourg , F. The treasure of Fecamp and Francie monnayagesen West during the second half of the tenth century. (Bibliotheque National, Paris, 1971).
4. Bompaire, M. & Dumas, F. Medieval Numismatic: coins and documents of French origin . (Brepols: Turnhout, Belgium, 2000).

Generally the numismatic Journal contains only two or three articles on medieval coins. This exceptional vintage should not be lost, I give you a list (incomplete: other sections live in this volume of the journal, but we are concerned less): Always

I still have not finished reading, but two articles seem to already inevitable:

1. The article by Michael Hourlier ( Caput Regis and crown), which deals with the interpretation of the "castle tournaments , rescanning sources on the subject (most of which were unknown to me). It reproduces a fibula showing a crowned head, where the crown looks very much like the type tournaments. I wrote for my part how I hate to see such an architectural type in Since all representations of buildings are in eastern France today (in the land of Empire at the time), thereby making the "castle" tournaments iconographic isolated case (so annoying). I opted for a reliquary, toujous on the same principle of the law of the series (other currencies in the same period and same geographic era represent relics), but I'm ready to adopt the perspective of M . Hourlier, so the resemblance is striking.
If I continue on my method for series, then I must see if the representation of a crown "glue" with the times (Late onset type XI or rather early twelfth century) and the region.
is remembered as the guy who was hit in St. Martin of Tours, just before it is a head surrounded by the letters MS.
The transition from the head to the crown would be quite happy - but with a full slip: for it is not the crown of St. Martin (nothing in the iconography peculiar to this holy no prompt) and yet it is well her head.
So perhaps my methodology is to adjust itself. I think about it.

2. Section A. Teboulba Mr. Bompaire and J.-N. Barrandon on the coinage of Poitiers.
This article discusses at length the technical analysis by using non-destructive metal particle accelerator (it's not just the LHC in life). Might only be essential reading for those questions, because there remember that particular method used, the analysis is more or less in depth.
To know the contents of precious metal (gold or silver) and base in a room by accelerated particles, two methods are mentioned: the proton activation (PAA) and activation with fast neutrons from cyclotron (NCRA).
I will not discuss further these two techniques (requiring any so read the article in full), and stick to consequences: PAA is an analysis of 300 microns depth analysis and NCRA entire thickness of the piece. But generally
centuries have oxidized the copies we have, and the oxidizable metal (vii) present on the surface has deteriorated and disappeared: the results indicate the APA therefore a percentage of precious metal systematically larger than those obtained by NCRA.
In conclusion: not to judge a method necessarily better than another, it is always good to know, when we consulted the results, which was used - To include being able to compare it with another.

The most important results of this article specifically on the coinage of Alphonse de Poitiers seems to me the following: it removes the king's brother, Count of Poitiers from 1241 to 1271, then by her marriage to the Count of Toulouse from 1249 to 1271 The currencies with TOLOSA CIVI in three lines, for giving back to Alphonse Jourdain (first half of the twelfth century).
Indeed, numismatists have had about them:
  • currencies on behalf of Alfonso, with the right "PICTAVIENSIS" in three lines - and one count of Poitiers of the name: the brother of St. Louis (Poey Prior to 2584, pl. LV, No. 5)
  • currencies on behalf of Alfonso, with the right TOLOSA CIVI (Poey d'Avant 3697, pl. LXXXI, No. 1).


It was very tempting to conclude that Alphonse de Poitiers had adopted this type in Poitou, and had also used in Toulouse after inheriting the county to the death of his stepfather. However, the analysis
metal emissions of Alphonse de Poitiers, but the counts of Toulouse earlier, reveals that these pieces TOLOSA CIVI, by their composition, belong in reality at the time of Alfonso Jordan, which science award So now these parts.

So type in three lines in Toulouse has nothing to do with that of Poitiers. It makes me humble to all interpretations typological influences, imitations, etc.. That I have done in the past!
