Abstract: A strict quantization of a compact symplectic manifold $S$ on a subset $IsubseteqR$, containing 0 as an accumulation point, is defined as a continuous field of $C^{\ast }$-algebras ${A_{hbar}}_{hbarinI}$, with $A_0=C_0(S)$, and a set of continuous cross-sections ${Q(f)}_{fin{C}^{infty}(S)}$ for which $Q_0(f)=f$. Here $Q_{hbar}(f^{\ast })=Q_{hbar}(f{)}^{\ast }$ for all $hbarinI$, whereas for $hbaro0$ one requires that $i[Q_{hbar}(f),Q_{hbar}(g)]/hbaro{Q}_{hbar}(f,g)$ in norm. We discuss general conditions which guarantee that a (deformation) quantization in a more physical sense leads to one in the above sense. Using ideas of Berezin, Lieb, Simon, and others, we construct a strict quantization of an arbitrary integral coadjoint orbit $O_{lm}$ of a compact connected Lie group $G$, associated to a highest weight $lm$. Here $I=0cup1/N$, so that $hbar=1/k$, $kinN$, and $A_{1/k}$ is defined as the $C^{\ast }$-algebra of all matrices on the finite-dimensional Hilbert space $V_{klm}$ carrying the irreducible representation $U_{klm}(G)$ with highest weight $klm$. The quantization maps $Q_{1/k}(f)$ are constructed from coherent states in $V_{klm}$, and have the special feature of being positive maps.
