"The Date and Provenance of the Franks Casket" Gesta 11.2 (1972:9-26) p. 9; Ms Vandersall summarises the previous scholarship as at 1972 in setting the casket into an art-historical, rather than linguistic context. Mrs Leslie Webster, former Keeper at the British Museum and the leading expert, is publishing a new short book on the casket in 2010- see the bibliography.
