| Description: | Abstract: When a general, but abridged, article on the subject was published just a few years ago (Ibrahim 2011), the author thought of, and started working on, a first corpus of the known material. But soon after, in view of the numerous discoveries of new seals, not only in the Iberian Peninsula but also in other areas of what was the Umayyad Empire, it became quite evident that such a project was very much premature. It seems now clear that the subject of Umayyad lead seals in undoubtedly just at its very beginning. Our Knowledge of this material, and the debate on it, will probably develop significantly in the near future. That is, once the expected professional focus by archaeologist and historians is necessarily put on this unique primary evidence. So alternatively, the provisional solution chosen in the paper is the publication of a few of the more noteworthy seals that have appeared since the above mentioned article. The intent here is to very schematically, without any particular order of typologies, discuss and put up for preliminary debate what we think are the more noteworthy or problematic seals that have been brought to our attention since then. –Ibrahim, Tawfiq [2015] |
