Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

-Letter of 13 Dec. 1647 (from Florence to Venice): "Aureos Passigniani veteres nummos denuo satis diligenter inspexi, numeravi, ac descripsi; ut ex inserto folio apparebit, in quo etiam pondus annotavi. Argenteorum tantum numerum adiunxi. Si de emptione cogitas, et me aliquid in hoc negocio curare cupis fac ut sciam. pro virili n. non deero ut maiori quo fieri possit compendio tuum, et cl. v. patris tui Museum exornes." (I have again carefully enough examined, counted and catalogued Passignano’s ancient gold coins, as is clear from the attached paper, on which I have also noted the weight. I have added only the number of silver coins. If you are contemplating their purchase, and you want me to take on a role in this business, let me know. I will spare no effort to the best of my ability so it can be yours with the shortest delay, and you may adorn your famous father’s museum) (Leiden University Library MS BPL 1920, van Cavalcanti no. 7)
