Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'Monday .. Palazzo Storzzi ... Here we were shown a very large and fine collection of shells, intaglios, cameos, medals, marbles, &:c.; which (with drinking chocolate) took up the whole morning very agreeably ... Friday. This morning, after breakfast, I went to the Vatican library, to see the collection of Greek and Roman medallions bought by the late pope and given to the public. They are in gold, silver, and copper; mostly in good preservation, and some very fine; but the series is very far from being complete.' (Bingley 1805, vol. 3, pp. 74-89; Burnett 2020b, pp. 1054-5 nn. 414-15)
