Scope and content
Two typescript papers by Stewart Lyon:
(a) "Variations in the weight of the late Anglo-Saxon penny", two pages on two folios (recto only), dated 9 January 1964, which takes as its point of departure some comments on Carolingian weight standards made by Karl Morrison, University of Minnesota, in a recent article in the journal Speculum. CSSL seeks to formulate a hypothesis to resolve the problem concerning fluctuations in the weight of the penny during the last century of the old Anglo-Saxon state.
(b) " 'Renovatio Monetae' in England in the eleventh century", typescript, five pages on five folios (recto only), dated April 1964, which seeks to delineate a model of the "modus operandi" in the system of "Renovatio Monetae", which can be traced back to the recoinage late in the reign of King Eadgar (959-975).
