Cumulative Index of Volumes 21-40

The Sylloge of Coins of the British Isles aims to publish fully illustrated catalogues of British and Irish coins found in collections both at home and abroad, ranging from Ancient British issues to the seventeenth century, but covering Anglo-Saxon coinage in greatest detail. This Cumulative Index shows at a glance the vast range of material available in Volumes 21-40 of the Sylloge. In analysing the coin-legends by personal names (mainly moneyers but also rulers) and mints, and tabulating reigns, types, and find-spots, this volume brings in a great deal of new material. Especially important are the large corpora of tenth-century material from the British Museum, and the eleventh-century Danish dynasty coins from Stockholm. Of the previous index volume, covering the first 20 Sylloge volumes, Fran Colman wrote: That this corpus is made so accessible by the layout and content of the Index will be of immediate value to the student of philology, for it gives ready access to a body of material, viz, personal and place-names on coins, which has long been recognised as vital to the study of language variation in the history of English, but which up till now has not been available in such complete form. Nomina . Either as an independent source-book or as a key to the series, this volume will prove invaluable. This book is intended for numismatic scholars and collectors, Medieval historians, Old English/Old Norse philologists.
