Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

A Paris ce 27 Iuillet 1668. Vos conjectures touchant vos 3 medailles estoient tres bonnes, car il est tres certain et visible qu'elles sont moulées et Monsieur de Carcavy le dit d'abord. Ie m'estonne que ces falsificateurs n'ont pas l'esprit d'addoucir autrement les bords qu'avec des limes qui y laissent des marques si evidentes. Ie luy ay dit que vous aimiez mieux d'avoir de grandes medailles de bronze des mieux faites que une suite d'Empereurs, et il m'a promis qu'il en mettroit a part de celles la, dont je vous en pourray envoier, et si elles ne vous agreent pas pour le pris, vous les renvoierez, qui est la meilleure maniere de traiter que vous puissiez souhaiter. Les suites iroient jusqu'a Heraclius a ce qu'il dit, mais je ne vous conseillerois pas de faire vostre collection de cette maniere, quand ce ne seroit qu'a cause de la difficultè de marchander.
