Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'Est mihi quamvis(?) Itinerarium Numismaticum conficere, hoc intuitu Nummophylacia quotquot mihi obviam facta fuerant in itinere per Galliam Italiam Germaniam et vestrium [sic] Belgium perlustravi, et rariora in illis adnotavi.' (The Hague, Koninklijke Bibliotheek, 72 H 21, ff.1-2; Burnett 2020b, p. 836)

['I want however to complete A Numismatic Journey, for which reason I looked through as many coin collections as I had met on my journey through France, Italy, Germany and your Belgium, and noted the greater rarities in them.' (translation from Burnett 2020b, p. 836)]
