Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'Wishes that some one would publish a commentary &c. on coins in Bodley. "Mons^r Leibnits, in his last letter to mee, writes that the late Andreas Morellus, a Swisse of Berne, a man famous for this sort of study, had before hee dyed, collected in ichthyococea or such like usual matter the icons of above 24,000 medalls, w^ch hee had lookt over in France, Holland, & Germany : a good part of w^ch are now engraving by the noble munificence of the Count of Schwarzenburg, who entertained him in his Court as Keeper of his Rarities.' Sends a list of 20-30 copper coins which he is willing to present to Bodley.' (summary and quotation from Hearne 1885, vol. 1, p. 301)
