Item 1967/1 - Letter from Peter Seaby

1 item, paper

Letter from Peter Seaby, in typescript, two pages on two folios (recto only), dated 13 October 1967, to say that, having read IS's notes on "The Early Viking Mint of York", agrees that neither Banks nor PJS have adequately explained why they consider the York attribution unsatisfactory. He encloses a note of Monty Banks that will go in the November bulletin and says that he will follow it up with IS's article in December. PJS doesn't believe that his and Banks' conclusions are necessarily wrong but that they were premature, and he is still convinced of the existence of a place called EBORACA or KAER EBRAUC (or something similar) in Wales. He also thinks that "students [interested in these arguments?] are seriously handicapped by not having an adequate write-up of the Morley St Peter hoard". He concludes by stating that he has not meant to detract from the "usefulness" of IS's article with Stewart Lyon in "Anglo-Saxon Coins", which he regards as a "most valuable contribution".
