Year: 2015
Type: article
Abstract: This article analyzes the traces left by the Jews on the Idrīsid coinage. These traces will be evident in a group of letters, names and Hebrew terms as well as on a few different monetary symbols. First, I will expose the role played by Jews in Muslims lands and the religious ideas that conditioned their work as metalworkers and coin minters. Secondly, I will analyze the Idrīsid case: the role of the Jewish tribes in mining and in the manufacture of coins as well as the signs and symbols that they reproduced on their coins. In addition, I will also analyze the possible influence that the symbols found on the eastern Umayyad could have had on the Idrisīd coinage and its possible Jewish origin.
