Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'There hath bin lately offered unto me a great bargain of ancient Coins to the number of 5500, gold, silver, and copper pieces, to be sold for £600. A greater number, I suppose, are not to be found together in any part of Europe; that collection of Abraham Gorlaeus only excepted, which Prince Henry purchas’d, and left unto his Majesty. It may be your Lordship may be able to prevail with some noble spirits, that have had their education at Oxford to joyn their purses together and add that Treasure likewise to the University Library: which will make it without all comparison farr to exceed all the other Libraries, that are in Christendom.' (Oxford, Bodleian Library, Sancroft MS 18, f.11; Boran 2015, vol. 2, pp. 525-6, letter 322; Burnett 2020b, p. 256)
