Scope and content
Two items relating to Philip Grierson's presentation at the Spoleto conference on the theme of Money and exchange in the Early Middle Ages (Moneta e scambi nell'alto medioevo), 21-17 April 1960:
(a) Précis of 'Function sociale', I: Mr Grierson's Hypothesis, manuscript, eight pages on eight recycled folios, otherwise unattributed and undated, summarising in English the argument ultimately put forward in published form in Philip Grierson, 'La fonction sociale de la monnaie en Angleterre aux VIIe-VIIIe siècle', Settimane di studio del Centro italiano di studi sull'alto medioevo, vol. 8: Moneta e scambi nell'alto medioevo (Spoleto: Centro italiano di studi sull'alto medioevo, 1961), pp. 341-385. The author of the précis is unknown, but it is written in a hand resembling that of IS on the verso of a typescript on "An uncertain mint of David I [of Scotland]".
(b) typescript, five pages on five folios (recto only), unattributed, undated and untitled, but a draft account of the discussion that followed PG's delivery of his paper at Spoleto in April 1960.
