Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'At Pozzuolo are a great many Cavalli marini, and old coynes and seals, but strangers coming thither so often, they hold them at strange prises, though most of them bee worth nothing. I bought fowr or fiue seals, which cost mee a pistoll, and some Roman coynes.' (London, British Library, Sloane MS 1868; Wilkin 1836, vol. 1, pp. 82-4; Burnett 2020b, p. 749)
