Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'My last letter to you was of July 1st-12th from Damascus, I spent all that day in the city with Sigr Antonio, pretty much among the silver smiths, who are Christians & work together in one great hall, got a few medals among them' (Finnegan 2013, pp. 149-56; Burnett 2020b, p. 632)
