Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

As to w^t you’re pleased to enquire ab^t The book of draughts of Medalls, there were none of y^m found in Engl^d. ’Tis a very large thick f^o & y^e fronts & reverses curiously & accurately taken & delineated. My brother bought it of Dr Twisden, who (I take it) p/curd it in Italy. I remember when we both lookd it over, we found a great many fine ones. That we could not meet in Goltzius, Occo, or Mediobarbus upon him, Spanheim, Patin, or Vaillant &c but not being able to tell by w^m this collection was made, I am afraid it abates considerably of y^e value of y^e book. … These MSS & a handsome collection of coins & other curiositys of Antiquitys &c were collected by S^r R. M.’s father, & had he not been taken off in y^e flower of his age, he w^d have added considerably to them, but his son S^r R.M. has made a valuable addition to them, & I hope will bring y^m all together, for they are now att twenty miles distance. (Bodleian Library, MS Rawlinson Letters 8, no. 121; Hearne 1885, vol 6 p. 66; Burnett 2020b, p. 1222)
