  • THE VATICAN HOARD of ANGLO-SAXON PENNIES by M
    THE VATICAN HOARD OF ANGLO-SAXON PENNIES By M. A. O'DONOVAN ABOUT the year 1928 a hoard of 517 Anglo-Saxon pennies of the late ninth- and early tenth- century was discovered in Rome, apparently on the site of the Vatican Wireless Station, then under construction, although this has been denied by an interested party. Tlxe hoard was sent to England by the owner 'residing abroad', and sold by Glendinings in two parts on May 16th, 1929 and November 13th, 1930.1 Some of the coins passed into the possession of the British Museum, but the rest were dispersed among private collections. No formal publication was made at the time, and the sale catalogues are the only published record of this important hoard.2 This article is an attempt to reconstruct the hoard in as much detail as has been found possible.3 The sale catalogues provide fairly detailed descriptions of the rarer coins, such as the pictorial issues of Edward the Elder, but only the names of the moneyers are listed for the more common types, with some intimation of the reverse patterns, occasionally inaccurate. Most fortunately, the Department of Coins and Medals in the British Museum possesses G. C. Brooke's copies of the catalogues, annotated by him with all the individual coin weights, various die-duplications and a few corrections. Dr. Brooke also caused plaster casts to be made of a majority of the coins in the earlier sale. These, now in the British Museum Coin Room, together with photographs of the collection of the late R.

  • Colleague, Critic, and Sometime Counselor to Thomas Becket
    JOHN OF SALISBURY: COLLEAGUE, CRITIC, AND SOMETIME COUNSELOR TO THOMAS BECKET By L. Susan Carter A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of History–Doctor of Philosophy 2021 ABSTRACT JOHN OF SALISBURY: COLLEAGUE, CRITIC, AND SOMETIME COUNSELOR TO THOMAS BECKET By L. Susan Carter John of Salisbury was one of the best educated men in the mid-twelfth century. The beneficiary of twelve years of study in Paris under the tutelage of Peter Abelard and other scholars, John flourished alongside Thomas Becket in the Canterbury curia of Archbishop Theobald. There, his skills as a writer were of great value. Having lived through the Anarchy of King Stephen, he was a fierce advocate for the liberty of the English Church. Not surprisingly, John became caught up in the controversy between King Henry II and Thomas Becket, Henry’s former chancellor and successor to Theobald as archbishop of Canterbury. Prior to their shared time in exile, from 1164-1170, John had written three treatises with concern for royal court follies, royal pressures on the Church, and the danger of tyrants at the core of the Entheticus de dogmate philosophorum , the Metalogicon , and the Policraticus. John dedicated these works to Becket. The question emerges: how effective was John through dedicated treatises and his letters to Becket in guiding Becket’s attitudes and behavior regarding Church liberty? By means of contemporary communication theory an examination of John’s writings and letters directed to Becket creates a new vista on the relationship between John and Becket—and the impact of John on this martyred archbishop.
