Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'Tunstallus bellissime valet, imo triumphat; tantum hie nactus est veterum nomismatum. Perlegit Copiam meam, ac mire probat. Panegyricum quo Philippum laudaui, vnice admiratur. Budaei Assem totum excussit, e& ad eundem scripsit : verum ille nondum quicquam respondit.' (Allen et al. 1906-1958, vol. 2, pp. 576-7, letter 584)

['Tunstall is in splendid health, in fact positively triumphant: he has acquired while here such a quantity of ancient coins. He has read through my Copia and highly approves of it. My panegyric in praise of Philip fills him with admiration. He has worked through the whole of Budé's De Asse, and has written to him, but he has not yet answered.'] (translation from Mynors - Thomson - McConica 1977, pp. 368-72, letter 584)
