Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
-Letter of 24 October 1791 (from Amsterdam): The final letter of the correspondence between the two, as far as it can be reconstructed, is by van Damme and was written in Dutch again, on 24 October 1791. He sent four ducats as a payment for the Choix, boasted about his reputation throughout Europe, begged Eckhel not to treat him harshly in his work in preparation and asked to be sent a copy of the Ars critica numaria upon publication; he was prepared to pay for it. Finally, he promised to send Eckhel an equivalent for the five ancient coins that the latter had sent in exchange for the dubious Recueil – which, in Eckhel’s opinion, was not worth the paper it was printed on (Vienna, Kunsthistorisches Museum, MK 59; Dekesel - Dekesel-De Ruyck 2022, p. 590, note 57)
