Abstract
The slow path toward the birth ofthe Bibliography of Islamic Numismatics
started at the beginning of the 18th century. Special paragraphs on Kufic coins
Were placed in general bibliographies, indication of a growing interest on the
matter. In the same years, the Islamic Numismatics gradually became a discipline with a specific methodology and the bibliographic works about it were
not merely small sections of general ones. A first turning point came with the
Museum cuficum Borgianum of Jacob Georg Christian Adler (1782), but only
in the Introductio in rem numariam Muhammeddanorum (1794) Oluf Gerhard
Tychsen wrote the chapter Bibliographia numaria cufica, the first annotated
bibliography in the modem sense.
