Book Description
Excerpt from Catalogue of the Greek Coins of Phrygia This volume of the Catalogue of Greek coins (the twenty-fifth of the series begun in 1873) deals with the coins of the eastern portion of the Roman Province of Asia, anciently known as Phrygia, and completes the Catalogue of all the coins of Asia Minor at present in the British Museum. In 1873, when the first volume of the Catalogue of Greek Coins was published, the collection of Phrygian Coins in the Museum was a small one, consisting only of about 700 specimens, as against 1636 described by Mionnet. The late M. W. H. Waddington, specially interested as he was in the coinage of Asia Minor, often impressed upon me the advisability of adding largely to the Phrygian series before undertaking to catalogue it. To bring it up to the required level has since been an object I have kept in view in selecting coins for purchase, and, as will be seen from the following pages, I am now at last able to catalogue no less than 2148 coins. The various sources from which all, or nearly all, the specimens have passed into the British Museum are noted in square brackets.

Book Description
This book answers the following question for Judaism: among all the things that happened in antiquity, what are the events that, seen from the perspective of the world that would endure, turn out to shape the long future? How did axiological events identify the focal points of the unfolding religious system, Judaism, in its formulation by the rabbinic sages of ancient times? This is the system that originated, in its own telling, with God’s teaching to Moses at Sinai in the Torah, in written and traditional form. Of all that happened to the Jews in the millennium from the formation of the Pentateuch (“Moses”) to the end of the formative age (“Muhammad”), the particular Judaism that emerged as normative responded to only a select few and did so within a logic all its own. Here we identify those definitive events of danger and opportunity — crisis — and the focal points that they highlighted.
