Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'Mr. Wise, it seems, hath put out Proposals, wch I have not seen, for printing the Catalogue of the Bodleian Coins, the same Catalogue without doubt that was first drawn up by Mr. Ashmole, and afterwards enlarged by inserting the Additions by myself, tho' the Catalogue of Consul Ray's coins (wch is the best part of the Bodleian coins for the number) wch I drew up, is kept by me, nor was it ever copied.
When Dr. Hudson first became Librarian, a proposal was published for printing the foresaid Catalogue, wch was before Mr. Raye's Coins came, but it was condemned by learned Men in general, & the Design laid aside, it being judged useless to publish barely a dry Catalogue, & the Collection, being not answerable to the Name of the Library, would only expose & lay open the Library besides, that Occo improved by Mediobarbus & other printed Books contained almost everything we have, but if such only were printed that are curious and not published by others, it might be of service to Learning, provided short Dissertations, in the manner of Seguin, were likewise added.' (Hearne 1885, vol. 10, p. 361; Burnett 2020b, p. 439)
