Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'I have spent 3 months with great pleasure and some profit among the Antient and Modern Curiosities of this famous City, which have cost one daily reading and application and filled 140 Pages in my Journal… my Antiquary Ficheroni… I have seen several Curious Cabinets of Medals, Cameo’s and Intaglio’s, and have just learned to know, that besides beauty and Curiosity there is great Erudition in them, because they not only express the habits, Rights, Ceremonies, Customs &c of the Ancients but are great helpers to History and Chronology, and because by the help of them and of ancient Bas relievos and Inscriptions, one may confront one Author with another, and secundum allegata & probata [as alleged and proved] pass our Judgement.' (BL, Add MS 47031, ff. 138v-141v; Burnett 2020b, p. 1306)
