Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'Nostro Revdo mio Sigre (?)
Mi scusarete della tardanza a rispondere alla sua cortesma sotto L’ultimo di Novemre che mi diede il grato avviso del suo salvo arrivo a Smirna. Non dubito che nella sua dimora là, la vostra curiosità troverà L’occasione di vedere diverse medaglie & altri antichagli, & se nel suo ricerco, vi occerrà qualche cosa per supplire al mancamento di quelle che io ho raccolto mi farebe grazia a darne parte al Nostro Console [Raye]. Come ho sempre portato gran stimo a persone virtuose come lei, cosi abbracciarò ogni occasione a farvi cognoscere che sono
Vostro
Pera 29 Gennaro S.I.(?) 1689/90
Sr Fro Benedetti'
(London, British Library, Add MS 72527, f.157; Burnett 2020b, p. 602)
['I am sorry for the delay in replying to your most kind letter of the last day of November which brought me the good news of your safe arrival at Smyrna. I am sure that, in your stay there, your curiosity will find the opportunity to see various medals and other antiquities, and, if in your enquiries some occasion will arise to fill the gaps in those which I have collected, you would give me pleasure if you gave them to our Consul [Raye]. Since I have always had a high opinion of virtuous persons like you, I will take every opportunity to let you know that I am Yours. Pera, 29 January 1689/90' (translation from Burnett 2020b, p. 602)]
