Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'A Sloane manuscript is annotated ‘Catalogue of a Collection of Roman Coins, gathered in Spain, & bought by Sr H.S.’ (f.1r). Sloane was created a baronet in 17163 so the date of acquisition may well be after that year, although we cannot be sure.

The catalogue consists of three parts:

  1. ff.1v–9r: ‘ffamiliae Romanae Caroli Patin’
  2. ff.10v–21r: ‘Imperatorum Romanorum Series – Francisci Mediobarbij Biragi’
  3. ff.22v–38r: ‘Index Alphabethicus Omnium Augustorum Augustarum Caesarum & Tyrannorum’'

(Burnett 2020b, p. 1126)
