Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

-Letter of 30 June 1700 (from Deventer): "Nescio profecto qui factura sit ut litteroe meae tara tarde tibi sint redditae, et spero hasce citius in manus tuas perventuras. Laetor valde Historiam meam III Gordianorum tibi, optimo omnis doctrinae arbitro, non improbari. Jam in eo sum, ut novam editionem adornem, et expecto quid abbas de Bos attulerit in medium ad vindicandos Gordianos IV ; quos eum nova exercitatione defendisse illustris Spanhemius et doctissimus Nicasius ad me miserunt. Ego certe sic statuo studium numismaticum utilissimum esse, sed male agi cum tot auctoribus vetustis et omni antiquitate, si propter parvam vel aetatis vel lineamentorum differentiam, plures nobis Augusti ostenduntur. Fecit id nuper etiam, uti non ignoras, praetantis eruditionis vir, Harduinus, magno molimine in numismatis saeculi Constantini; sed cui persuadebit unquam tot alios Constantios, Constantinos, Constantes, etc., fuisse, praeter eos quos panegyricorum auctores Lactantius, Eusebius, aliique auctores qui iisdem temporibus vixerunt? licet vultus nonnunquam paululum diversi sint, et modo hoc, modo aliud, praenomen in nummis legatur. Ego certe, quo sum stupore et oscitantia, admirabiles et paradoxos illas opiniones nunquam probare potero, nisi simul statuam, omnes fere auctores suppositos, et nullos, prater unum aut alterum genuinos esse ; quae opinio nescio quomodo in virum sapientem et optimis artibus innutritum cadere potuerit. Perlegi saeculum illud beneficio Graevii nostri, penes quem unicum tantum hoc in orbe exemplar est ; sed nullam fere paginam invenio quin incredibilibus novisque plane placitis referta sit, mihique ita videntur, ut ingenue loquar, studia nostra fleri ludus jocusque, et talia vigilantium somnia esse. Commentarius tuus de navigatione Salomonis elegans et pereruditus est, nec dubito quin vera sit sententia tua; testabor id publice, si Deus mihi otium concedit, propediem, in dissertatione, cui titulus erit Elephas numismaticus, et in qua etiam inquiro an ad Salomonem advecti fuerint elephanti, ut nonnulli consent; quod te negare optimo jure, habeo persuasissimum. Non displicebit lucubratio illa eruditis, nisi mihi nimis blandior, quia de nummis ago in quibus vastum illud animal pictum est, et ea occasione varia auctorum veterum loca vel illustro vel illustrare conor ; unde et eadem excrevit in satis idoneam molem." [...] "Nummus Constantini meus non est, sed amici Ultrajectini. Eum per aliquot dies diligenter inspexi, sed non potui deprehendere posticam ejus parlera alteri fuisse assutam vel ferruminatam. Piscem vitreum tuum plane sentio pertinere ad gentiles, nec a ratione alienum est homini, cujus in sepulchro prope Tongros inventus fuit, habuisse pisces in deliciis, sive capturam, sive obsonea spectes."; "Sed etiïlud te celare nolo, Ottonem Sperlingium, in libro (quem mihi dedicavit) De nummis non cusis, statuere Ophir et Hevilah et Chavilah, fratres laudatos Gen 10, 27, proximas sedes sibi elegisse, et ideo Ophiriticam regionem ibi quarendam esse" (Pélissier 1902, Lettre V, p. 280-288).
