Friedenberg's work provides the first comprehensive study of the use of seals by Jews from the 12th to the 16th century and their role in transforming Europe from a barter economy to a money economy. Structuring his analysis by geographic regions, Friedenberg examines the physical nature of the seals and discusses the symbols and legends they employ. He examines their relation to similar Christian seals, their legal validity and use, and their prevalence in certain areas at certain times. In all, 177 seals are catalogued. Where the impressions are appended to documents, the document is also reviewed. Whenever possible, the seals are illustrated, as are the most significant documents, along with other seals, medals, coins, letters and paintings which serve to illuminate the discussion of a seal. The result is the definitive catalog of all known Jewish seals of the period.

Seals and their Context in the Middle Ages offers an extensive overview of approaches to and the potential of sigillography, as well as introducing a wider readership to the range, interest and artistry of medieval seals. Seals were used throughout medieval society in a wide range of contexts: royal, governmental, ecclesiastical, legal, in trade and commerce and on an individual and personal level. The fourteen papers presented here, which originate from a conference held in Aberystwyth in April 2012, focus primarily on British material but there is also useful reference to continental Europe.

Les Empreintes du temps sont la première publication exhaustive d'une collection de sceaux éthiopiens encore inconnue il y a quatre ans. L'événement est une aubaine pour les amateurs de sigillographie comme pour les historiens de l'Éthiopie à l'époque de son entrée dans la modernité. Un signal fort fut donné à l'Occident par le roi des rois Téwodros II, qui, assiégé sur sa forteresse de Mäqdäla par le général Napier venu délivrer manu militari des prisonniers européens, préféra se donner la mort plutôt que de connaître le déshonneur de la défaite. C'était en 1868. La collection Boucoiran s'ouvre précisément sur le sceau de ce roi, puissant et courageux à l'image du lion qui fait une entrée durable dans la sigillographie éthiopienne. Téwodros acquit très tôt une stature de héros national. Dès sa disparition, une « élégie mélancolique » le célébrait en ces termes : Voyez donc comme meurt un véritable lion, Qui croit ignominieux de mourir de main d'homme. (Berhanou Abebe, Histoire de l'Ethiopie d'Axoum à la révolution, Maisonneuve & Larose, 1998 : 101). À partir de Menilek II, les sceaux célèbrent le roi des rois comme le Lion de Juda, réaffirmant ainsi le mythe, fondateur de la royauté éthiopienne, de la descendance salomonienne des souverains. La collection Boucoiran réunit, en exactement cent empreintes, les principaux personnages nobiliaires, militaires, civils et religieux qui animèrent la vie intérieure et internationale du pays entre 1860 et 1925, soit du règne de Téwodros à celui de la fille de Menilek II, Zäwditu, au cours de la régence du ras Täfäri, futur Haylä Sellasé. L'ouvrage répond à un triple objectif : l'identification des titulaires de ces sceaux comme contribution à leurs biographies, le décryptage et la traduction des exergues en caractères ge'ez, arabes, plus rarement romains, enfin une lecture et une interprétation ouvertes des motifs iconographiques. Les auteurs ont choisi de traiter ces empreintes comme des sources historiques originales.
