Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'nummi quidam antiqui ad res britannicas praecipue spectantes, vobis fortasse nondum visi, quorum ectypos & plerumque etiam archetypos ipsis incluseram, intercepti fuissent ... Caeterum prodiit nuperrime elegantissimum perfectissimumque opus illud tuum de Britannia, pervenitque tandem ad nos exemplat unicum, maxima prae caeteris numorum antiquorum vi auctum, doctissimisque tuis notis illustratum.’ (BL, Cotton MS Julius C V, ff.89-92; Smith 1691, pp. 102-8, letter 76)

['the ancient coins illustrating British matters, which have perhaps not yet been seen by you, of which I included copies and for the most part even archetypes for them the same, had been intercepted. ... your most elegant and complete work de Britannia was recently published, augmented above all by a very great number of ancient coins and illustrated by your most learned notes' (translation from Burnett 2020b, pp. 123 & 130)]
