Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'This catalogue begins (f.92r) with the contents:

The Number and Values of my great Brass Roman Coins, contained in Eleven Draws [sic] of my best Cabinett. 25th July 1709

And also of my Middle Brass Roman Coyns & 13 aegyptian Silver Greek Coins in my best Cabinet

The following folios (ff.92–104v) consist of pages, each numbered from 1 to 15. The first 13 pages list 733 coins, from Julius Caesar to the early Byzantine period. The brief identifications and their values correspond almost exactly to the fuller list in Sloane MS 2954, ff.67–135, confirming that we are dealing with the same collection. On p. 14, there is some addition of the totals from previous pages, followed at the end by some summaries (f.99v–100r = pp. 14–15):

~~589:10:0~~ Totall value of my Roman Great Brass Coins contained in 11 Draws of my best Cabinet 22th July 1709

589:10:0 Totall

Page 16 (= f.100v) is blank, and is followed by pages 17–24 (= ff.101r–104v), which give:

The number & Value of my lesser brass Roman Coynes

Pages 17–24 then list out the values of the smaller 380 bronze coins, from the Roman Republic, down to the same early Byzantine period. On p. 24 (f.104v), the figures are added up, giving:

115:17:6 Tot: value of my Middle brass Roman Coins, & 13 silver Greek aegyptian Coynes 25th July 1709

The figure of £115:17s:6d had already appeared as a sub-total on p. 14 (f.99v).'
