Nicolas Oikonomides

A Collection of Dated Byzantine Lead Sales (Dumbarton Oaks Other Titles in Byzantine Studies)

This volume was designed to assist sigillographers and non-specialists in their study of Byzantine lead seals, especially in the problems of dating. By developing and demonstrating typological and stylistic criteria that can be used in dating seals, this volume is an excellent resource in the use and study of seals as historical data. Oikonomides consolidates the achievements of the sigillographic tradition extending from Schlumberger onwards, and brings his own expertise in key areas of Byzantine history to bear on the problems. He establishes another reference-point in the pursuit of his own strategy for Byzantine sigillography, and provides a stimulus to others to start publishing. (Journal of Hellenic Studies )

Catalogue of the Byzantine Coins in the Dumbarton Oaks Collection and in the Whittemore Collection, 4, Alexius I to Michael VIII, 1081-1261 (2-Volumes)

The fourth in a series of five catalogues, this volume's sections have a more extensive treatment, featuring imperial costume and regalia, their importance in coin designs; the coordination, control, and methods of coin production; and an excursus on the main issues of the years around 1204. The introductions to each reign have also been expanded to take account of the historical and numismatic complexities of the period, and many more specimens from outside Dumbarton Oaks have been illustrated, offering a greater degree of coverage.

Catalogue of the Byzantine Coins in the Dumbarton Oaks Collection and in the Whittemore Collection, 5: Michael VIII to Constantine XI, 1258-1453

The final volume in the series, this catalogue follows the general plan of volumes two through four but differs from them in its use of the sylloge format for the catalogue proper. The collection of Palaeologan coins at Dumbarton Oaks is by far the largest that exists, and the field is one in which great advances have been made over the last half-century. This volume supersedes the previous accounts of Palaeologan coinage, and is definitive in its field.
