Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'Wishes that some one would publish a commentary &c. on coins in Bodley. "Monsr 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, wch hee had lookt over in France, Holland, & Germany : a good part of wch 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)
