2 items, paper

Note from Philip Grierson, in manuscript, on a postcard-sized cutting of scrap paper, dated 20 March 1985, as cover for an attachment concerning efforts to obtain further research funding for work towards vol. 1 of Medieval European Coinage on the the Early Middle Ages. The attachment, in typescript, undated, is entitled 'Research Funding: Conspectus of Medieval European Coinage'. It puts forward the recommendation to the Sylloge committee (i.e. of the Sylloge of Coins of the British Isles) that the Medieval European Coinage project ask the [British] Academy to provide the project with direct financial assistance. It sets out an original proposal for a series of thirteen volumes and arrangements for ongoing financial support.
