"Bibliography of British Numismatics – Stephen", typescript (photocopy), six pages on six folios, dated March 1979, unattributed but provisionally attributable to Peter Seaby on the grounds that he was working on the coinage of Stephen at the time, though it equally might have been drafted by someone else who had a particular interest in the coinage of Stephen around this time, e.g. Robert Seaman. The date is given after the last entry on page six as "(Issue: March 1979)". The exact meaning of this particular expression is unclear, but any suspicion that it referred to the March 1979 issue of Seaby's Coin and Medal Bulletin may be discounted, as it did not appear there. The latest entry in the bibliography is for a publication of Ian Stewart in 1978, while other relevant publications from 1978, such as Robert Seaman's article in the BNJ ('A re-examination of some hoards containing coins of Stephen', BNJ vol. 48 (1978), pp. 58-72), and later publications on Stephen are missing. There are a few marginal annotations, apparently in the hand of IS, and a manuscript note in the upper margin on page one, in red ink, that reads "Experimental Draft".
