Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

-Letter of 22 July 1776 (from Vienna): Eckhel replied instantly – not even a month later, on 22 July 177629 – and reacted extremely positively: he thanked van Damme for the plate and expressed interest in purchasing some of the coins depicted for the imperial collection. He also announced that he would send 20 copies of his Numi veteres anecdoti to van Damme via Goll, so that they could be distributed by him on markets that were not within easy reach from Vienna, for example in England (The Hague, Rijksmuseum Meermanno-Westreenianum, FA 400, f. 449r–v ; Dekesel - Dekesel-De Ruyck 2022, p. 587, note 29)
