Abstract
- This paper discusses the evidence relating to a mid-thirteenth-century hoard of coins and jewellery discovered beneath a cellar in Cambridge in 1817. Five gold rings with gemstone settings survive from this group and are now in the possession of Trinity College library; these rings are examined, and their date and significance explored. The history of the material — from its initial discovery up until the mid-nineteenth century when the rings were donated to the college — is also investigated. Finally, the original context of the hoard is discussed, including its possible association with the medieval Jewry of Cambridge. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
