Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
-Letter of 17 April 1789 (from Amsterdam): On 17 April 1789,43 a new chapter in the relationship between the two men opened. Van Damme informed Eckhel that he had prepared an extremely limited edition of just 12 copies of a book in folio format, the title of which he gave as Recueil de Medailles de Rois in this letter; he said that his book contained illustrations of several thousand coins on plates, a considerable quantity of which unpublished, from his own and other collections that had not been accessible in print. He offered Eckhel one of the 12 copies for purchase for the library of the imperial coin cabinet, if he agreed to exchange duplicate coins for it (Vienna, Kunsthistorisches Museum, MK 69; Dekesel - Dekesel-De Ruyck 2022, p. 588, note 43)
