Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
Abstract from EMLO: All in all he has doubts about Altempsius' library and whether the Queen could get it at a fair price. He has been through Gothofred's coins but wonders what the Queen will decide: Boncompanius keeps dark about his coins; he has gone off with his jewels to Bologna. I have again been living a month at my own expense and shall have to do the same in Florence. If only you gentlemen at court were as generous as your kind Mistress! The Keeper of the Vatican library has shown himself agreeable and I should like to attach him more closely to the Queen with the gift of a golden coin; but they have all been distributed. Cardinal Barberini and Braccianus have begged for a living likeness of the Queen stamped in colour, and Braccianus has asked me to pass on to him all the news about her I get in letters from Sweden. But you never write. Please be more diligent in future. I used to enjoy writing to you in Sweden but now I write with disgust. Try to wipe out this blot on man's character of neglecting his friends.
