Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

-Lettre du 12 Nov. 1701 (de Berlin): « Je ne doute point que Mons. Morel à Arnstat et M. Imhof à Nurenberg ne m’ayent aussi bien de l’obligation. On est heureux quand on a à produire une personne comme vous êtes ; la Reine me tient encore compte de ce que je vous ai introduit, quoique vous le fussiez plus que suffisamment par la lettre de Mad. l’Electrice, et Mlle de Pelniz aussi bien que les autres dames me demandent souvent de vos nouvelles. Sans parler de l’esprit, (vôtre) bonne mine ou plutôt votre beauté leur demeure gravée dans l’imagination, et fait autant de bruit à la cour, que votre érudition en fait parmi nos savants » (Kemble 1857, p. 253, nr. 107 and Babin 2012, nr. 331, p. 590 ; Callataÿ 2015, p. 311, n° II.1; Burnett 2020b, p. 1591).

RemarksRemarks regarding the annotation. (fr)

Translation A. Burnett: I have no doubt that M. Morel at Amstadt, and M. Imhof at Nürnberg, will also be much obliged to me. One is fortunate when one has a person like yourself to produce. The Queen16 still thinks herself my debtor for having introduced you, although you were more than sufficiently so by Madame the Electress’s letter;17 and Mademoiselle de Pellnitz,18 as well as the other ladies, often ask me news of you; not to speak of your wit, your good looks, or rather your beauty, remains engraved in their imagination, and makes as much noise at Court as your learning does among our savans, who have had the advantage of your acquaintance.] 15 Jacob Wilhelm Imhof (1651–1728), historian and genealogist. 16 Sophia Charlotte of Hanover, Queen of Prussia (1668–1705). 17 Sophia, Electress of Hannover (1630–1714), mother of King George I. 18 Henriette Charlotte von Pöllnitz (c. 1670–1722). See below for a letter written by Leibniz to her on 7 December 1703. (fr)
