Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

-Letter of 1 October 1789 (from Amsterdam): On 1 October, van Damme acknowledged receipt of the coins and books and sent his Recueil to Vienna: “en grand papier”, bound in a luxury binding of gilt morocco; he added that only four of the 12 copies produced were “en grand papier”, and that the copies were printed from pristine copperplates that had never been used. At the same time, he proposed another deal involving another Ptolemaic gold coin (Vienna, Kunsthistorisches Museum, KM 70; Dekesel - Dekesel-De Ruyck 2022, p. 589, note 49)
