Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

-Lettre du 26 avril 1780 (de Vienne) : On 26 April 1780, Eckhel resumed the correspondence after a hiatus of three years – the longest break in the sequence of letters until the end of the contacts between the two men in 1791. He apologised for his silence and informed van Damme about his activities in the meantime: he had re-arranged the imperial collection of ancient coins and published its catalogue, also, he had been handed curatorial responsibility for the imperial collection of ancient gems and cameos. Most importantly, Eckhel mentioned that he was in the process of preparing a new comprehensive handbook on ancient coinage (“la Science des Médailles”): it is the work published from 1792 onward under the title Doctrina numorum veterum. Eckhel trusted that van Damme might be able to help, for example by providing information on unknown specimens. Also, Eckhel hoped to be able to obtain coins from van Damme for the Vienna collection“Il y a quelques années, que j’ai commencé à écrire la Science des Médailles ouvrage, qui sera bien détaillé, et qui est déjà fort avancé” (The Hague, Museum Meermanno-Westreenianum, FA 400/450, f. 1v; Woytek 2022a, p. 388, n° 2; Burnett 2022, p. 419, n° 1; Dekesel - Dekesel-De Ruyck 2022, p. 587, note 30).
