Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

Lettre du 7 avril 1726 (de): Also, as it had taken such a long time to sell the collection, she was eager to receive the money as soon as possible. It embarrassed Bockleth to ask for quick payment and he tried to compensate for this negative message with a positive one by providing further details on the collection: it was kept in a cabinet made of walnut and the coins were arranged in smaller packages. Bockleth advised keeping them in this fashion, as it would make transportation easier. He also attached another catalogue, which turns out to be exactly the same as the one he had already sent to Bessel two years ago (Library of Göttweig Abbey Cod. 691 162r–163v; voir Mayer 2020).
