Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

-Lettre du 22 août 1692 (d’Oxford): He will find it a problem to arrange L’s. donations to the Museum for due display while keeping them protected from dust. It will take 6 or 8 months to arrange and catalogue the number of MSS. and pamphlets amongst Mr. Ashmole’s legacy. He notifies him of a large collection of coins, Roman, Greek, old English that a gentleman in town wishes to sell, and he asks Lister what price they bear with London goldsmiths. (Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Lister 36 fol. 36).
