Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

-Letter of 26 Nov. 1788 (from Vienna): “Ob meine große Ars critica numaria, an der ich schon mehrere Jahre arbeite, ein besseres Ganzes heissen wird, werden andere entscheiden müssen” (f. 1r). “Ich habe diese Parthie [sc. the chapter on contorniates] mit vieler Anstrengung ausgearbeitet. Doch hätte ich niemals Lust, sie unter die andern Medaillonen zu setzen, weil sie nicht gleichzeitig, und llemal nur Aftermedaillen sind, sondern aus ihnen lieber eine besondere Suite zu machen” ... “Bey beschädigten Münzen nützt mir auch die beste Zeichnung nichts. Ich muß mit eignen Augen sehen. Ein andersmal werde ich mir die Freyheit nehmen, zwey verschiedene Arten vorzuschlagen, womit man sehr leicht, u(nd) ohne Beschädigung der Münzen Abdrücke davon machen kann.”... "…] im übrigen sehe ich, daß er ein purer Sammler ist, der sich um das Wesentliche der Numismatik wenig bekümmert, wovon ich in der That in allen seinen Briefen, die er mir in der unverständlichsten französischen Sprache schrieb, nicht die mindeste Spur fand" (Tartu, University of Tartu, Friedrich Ludwig Schardiuse collection 780; Woytek 2022a, p. 386 and 389, n° 10; Dekesel - Dekesel-De Ruyck 2022, 583, note 3)
