MS in Department of Coins and Medals, Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge (formerly Trinity College, Cambridge, R.17.12). General catalogue of the coins in Trinity College library, including:

ff.1-26: the very first page of the volume is entitled ‘Saxon & English coins from Mr Bell’ (f.1), followed by lists of coins down to George II, latest coin dated 1736 (ff.1–26);
ff.37-85 are introduced as a ‘Supplement to Roman coins. Mr Bells’, and many coins listed, mostly of the late 3rd century (Gallienus to Arcadius, including Victorinus, Tetricus I and II, and then a coin of Maurice Tiberius);
f.87 begins again with ‘Silver not in the Cat.’, but, confusingly, f.89 has the title ‘Wanting in Mr Bells according to his Cat.’;
ff.97–123 ‘Smaller Silver English’ with 12 pages of decriptions from the Anglo-Saxon period to George II, the latest dated coin being of 1729;
ff.157–79 ‘Larger Silver Coins English’
