Crusafont, Miquel, Anna M. Balaguer and Philip Grierson, Medieval European Coinage 6. The Iberian Peninsula, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 2013, 886 pages, 60 photo plates, hardcover. The third volume to appear in the Catalogue of the Coins in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge. As with the other volumes to appear so far, the main part of the book is a detailed numismatic history, followed by plates of coins with descriptions on facing pages. The photos in this volume appear not to be as high quality as in the first two volumes, which is a disappointment for such an expensive book. This volume covers early Muslim issues (Umayyad, taifa and Almoravid, Almohads, Nasrids of Granada), Carolingians and coinage to 1100, Catalonia-Aragon, Kingdom of Majorca, Kingdom of Navarre, Castille-Leon, Kingdom of Portugal, ex.
