publication Sylloge of Coins of British Isles:
The major serial publication relating to
British Hammered Coinage. Published by Oxford University Press & Spink and Son for the
British Academy.
The Sylloge of Coins of the British Isles has been one of the most
productive series of numismatic books.
Inspired by its Ancient Greek counterpart, the
Sylloge Nummorum Graecorum, it was established in the 1950's to provide detailed
descriptions and photographic illustrations of a large body of British coinage in order to
facilitate its close study, especially using die and stylistic analyses. Many of the
earlier volumes concentrated on Anglo-Saxon coinage, where this new approach was proving
particularly rewarding.
By publishing coins held in one hundred and fifty museums in
Britain and Ireland, and others in Scandinavia, Germany, Poland, Latvia, Russia and the
United States, the student has at his fingertips an astonishing amount of material on
which to base his studies.
Latterly, a number of volumes have focused on the later
medieval and early modern periods, and important specialist collections have been selected
for publication with an extended introduction discussing the classification, chronology
and other features of the coinage. Thus Edwardian sterlings, medieval and Tudor gold, and
the coinages of Henry VII, Charles I and Scotland have all been treated in this way.
The
eight volumes on seventeenth century tokens in the Norweb collection, when complete, will
be the standard reference work for this series, superseding Williamson which has held that
position for a hundred years.
A landmark was reached with the recent publication of the
fiftieth volume, but the series will continue, evolving and adapting to meet the needs of
modern study in a range of disciplines. |
