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. |
