Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'Staro attendendo le sue risoluzioni intorno alle quattro Busti accennati, rappresentanti le quattro Stagioni, accioche possa disimpegnarmi col Padrone di essi. VS Ill’ma si compiaccia awisarmi, se desidera fare acquisto di antichi metalli, cioe figure, instromenti di Sagrificio e accioche in caso me ne giunga qualche bel pezzo alle mani possa darmi l’onore di servirnela'

[I shall be expecting your decision regarding the four busts representing the Four Seasons so that I can conclude the business with the owner. If it pleases Your Excellency, let me know if you want to acquire ancient coins, statues, or sacrificial instruments, so that in case I find a good specimen, you could give me the honour of using my services]

(Spier - Kagan xxxx, p. 59)
