Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'Numismatibus oblectari te audio, quod nequaqaum displicet. studium enim non est adeo sterile, ut quibusdam horum imperitis forte videtur. Nam uti tu recte iudicas, non parum faciunt ad iuvandum, in re Imperatoria, memoriam. Suppeditant deinde multarum rerum, in veteri utriusque linguae historia, cognitionem.' (Brussels, Bibliothèque royale de Belgique, MS III 936, nr. 7; Hessels 1887, pp. 331-3, letter 144; Burnett 2020b, p. 214)

['I hear that you like coins, which is certainly not at all displeasing. Their study is not so barren as perhaps seems to those who are inexperienced in them. For as you rightly reckon, they make no little contribution, in matters imperial, to helping our memory. Further, they assist the understanding of many things in the ancient history of both languages.' (translation from Burnett 2020b, p. 214)]
