Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

19 Jan. 1587 (from Antwerp): “Grata mihi fuit nepos carissime diligentia et cura tua in indagando Wigandecuae situ. Quam modo cognosco ex fragmento tabulae ad te misso, atque à te remisso, habeo gratias. Lubens quoque intellexi te circa historiam versari, cum ceterarum rerum enim et scientiarum cognitio ad multa conducit, sed pro natura loci, personae, aut temporis; habet hoc propriae historia, quod Semper, ubique, et omni homini, situ sui, utilitati, et honori. Sed fortassae derunt tibi in hoc negocio libri. Si paud me esses, erorum copias haberes; habeo namque (absit verbo iactancia) bibliothecam mediocriter instructam. Huic addidi numismatum ex omni aere numerum et delectum talem, ut de iis cum quovis his regionibus contenderè ausim. His enim, libris nempe et nummis, credo me impendisse ultra duo millia coronatorum. Quaeris an nullus exstet liber qui aversas numisamtum partes explicet: non quod sciam, generatim; imò neque ullus singulatim, pro argumenti exignetia. Quidam Aeneas Vicus edidit duodecim primorum Imperatorum numismata, cum índice nomenclatorio (ut ea voce utar) ómnium rerum quae in eijs spectantur, quem laborem non possum non laudare. Alius quidam Sebastianus Ericius longa commentari scripsit in Imperatorum numismatum postica singna: sed frigida sanè. Constantius quidam Landus idem praestitit felicius, sed in valde pauca. In Julii, Augusti, et Tiberij, scripsit commentaria Wolfgangus Lazius, docta, peritis tamen antiquaris non ita satisfacientia. Fulvius Ursinus meo iudicio omnium doctissimè, ad consulares nummos, in eo volumine, quod de Familiis Romanorum inscripsit. A. Occo, et H. Goltzius qui praestiterit, ex eius lucubrationibus quae exstant, te minimè ignorare puto. Huius auctoris, Julij Caesaris exemplar tibi mitto, quod boni consules. Accipies illud per Joannem Woudnellum quem nesoti, alterum eiusdem, quod cum tuo coniunxi D. Emanueli trades, meo nomine. Adieci his icones nympharum quasdam, Petro fratri tuo, et imagunculam ex argeno, Isabellae sororculae tuae. Per eundem mittit soror mea quaedam semina ex hortulo (horto dicere nequeo) nostro, sed ni fallor, ululas Athenas. Eidem dedi semina Maraviliae, et si fortè non habeas, floris solis. Africani floris nancisci non potui, alias quoque missurus. Quae de Graecorum nummis ex me scire cupis, ignoro, tu mob eius linguae imperitiam, tum ex talium nummorum raritatem. Si maior eorum copia nobis esset, fortè collatio eorundem in his aliquid lucis adferret. Est Philippi nummus apud me valde integer, in quo haec (inverted )CC sine ullis punctis, ut hic vides. Tu cogita de caractere, in ordine octavo, hac ut vides forma (inverted sigma), numeri notam ne significet, non enim est sygma, etsi inversa videatur, nam haec hoc modo C. in omnibus quos hactenus viderim nummis expirmitur. Opus meum quod sub Plantini prelo est, circa D. Johannis festum absolvebitur, opitulante Deo, atque tunc de profectione ad vos cogitabimus. Sed dies docebit. Interim vale” (New York, The Morgan Library and Museum, LHMS, Unbound International Ortelius; Hessels 1887, no. 149, p. 345-347).
