Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'[This MS] contains drawings of the two sides of a contemporary Moroccan gold coin. The coin can be identified as a gold double dinar of Abu Faris, Sharif of Morocco, dated AH 1015 (AD 1606). Casaubon transcription of the Arabic is almost entirely correct, the only little mistake being omitting the [alif] from the word [al-'abbas], and the translation is perfectly correct. This is accompanied by a second rendering of the reverse with a note reading: "this was written by a Turkish man whose home was in Buda, a man well-skilled in Latin and of no ordinary intelligence."'
