Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'Annotations in Peutinger’s copy of the large compendium of the Roman imperial history published by Erasmus, which had been printed by Johann Froben in Basel in 1518: Ex recognitione Des. Erasmi Roterodami C. Suetonius Tranquillus ... (Basel: Froben, 1518).

2. P. 449 (in the margin of the chapter on Diocletian in the Epitome de Caesaribus, where the text, which had been underlined by Peutinger, reads ‘hoc tempore Carausio in Galijs ...’):

Nomisma Argent
mihi a Thoma
Moro Britanno
Brugis donatu’
huius est inscrip
Imp C/rausius
P F Aug – Felici t/// Aug. R.SR

[Silver coin given to me by Thomas More the Briton at Bruges. Its inscription is Imp C/rausius P F Aug – Felicit//Aug. R.SR]

3. P. 513 (in the margin of the chapter on Diocletian in Eutropius’s Historiae). The marginal notes at the top of the page list the names of people and places mentioned in the text, which were underlined by Peutinger. Opposite the passage in the text ‘Per haec tempora etiam Carausius...,’ Peutinger had written:

Chrausius

and, below the list:

Appellat’ Charausius
ex Nomismate quod
nob’ argenteu’ Thom
Morus Anglicus
brugis Donauit.

[He is called Charausius according to a coin of which Thomas More the Englishman gave me a silver example at Bruges]

4. At the very back of the book, Peutinger had written a list of emperors, entitled ‘Numerus primus Caesarum Augustorum et Tyrannorum Romani Imperii secundus vero Imaginum quas sculpere feci significat [‘the first number is of the Caesars, Augusti and Tyrants of the Roman empire, and the second indicates the images which I have had engraved’]. This is his list of engravings for his proposed illustrated book on Roman emperors.

The list runs from 1 (Julius Caesar) to:

106 Diocletianus 5
107 Maximinianus 6

then Peutinger has added:

Carausius cuius imago ha
betur

[Carausius whose image is taken.]

The list then continues from 108 (Constantius) to 185 (blank). Carausius was obviously added late in the process: indeed we know the book had been authorised in 1509, eleven years before Peutinger saw More’s coin.' (Burnett 2020b, pp. 1338-9)
