Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'On the 21 I was carried to a great Virtuoso a one Cavalliero Pozzo, who shew'd us a rare Collection of all kind of Antiquities, a choice Library, over which are the Effigies of most of our late men of polite literature: That which was most new to me was his rare collection of the Antique Bassirelievos about Rome, which this curious man had caus'd to be design'd in divers folios: he shew'd us also many fine Medails' (De Beer 1955, vol. 2, p. 277; Burnett 2020b, p. 825 n. 51)
