Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'Fiducia Fittoni et Moravii de nummis quibusdam tuis non possum non probare, eidem et mihi suspecti sunt, cum pondere forma, inscriptione nimirum ab genuinorum ordine abire viderentur.' (BL, Harley MS 376, f.159; Burnett 2020b, p. 542)
['I cannot fail to approve of your trust in Fitton and Murray about some of your coins, and I also thought the same ones were suspect, since by weight, shape and inscription they seem to depart too much from the ranks of the genuine.' (translation from Burnett 2020b, p. 542)]
RemarksRemarks regarding the annotation. (en)
Burnett 2020b, p. 542 n. 217: "The date looks like 1640 (MDCXL) and the letter appears thus in the MS catalogue, but it has been corrected and seems either to be MDCIL or MCCXL, probably the latter, rather than the rather odd formulation for 49." (en)
