Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'Mr Paul Lucas est arrivé depuis deux mois, il a apporté beaucoup des medailles antiquites et plusieurs divinités en Bronze, des manuscrits et des agathes, parmi les pierres il a trouve une grande quantité des ces cailloux ou bijots(?) qui representent dans leurs interieurs des dendrittes ou des ruines comme les pierres de Florence.' (Royal Society, MS 253/280; Burnett 2020b, p. 620 n. 425)
