Reviews

... very good bibliography ... practically every pertinent piece of information has been dug out and put in its right place. Archaeological Journal Gannon's book presents a wide variety of hitherto understudied material in a clear and thoughtful way and will make a major contribution to the study of Anglo-Saxon art as a whole and the discussion of how the art of post-Roman Europe relates to a wide variety of sources and influences. Alan M. Stahl, Dibner Institute for the History of Science and Technology, MIT ...an up-to date source of information on numismatic research and relevant controversies.
