Letter : Rome, to William Gunn, 1802.

Zoega's letter answers Gunn's request for several volumes: Charta Papyracea Graece, Antiquites d'Herculanum, and Le Avventure di Saffo. Zoega also recounts his visit to see the collection of chalices and engravings on display at the Borgia Museum. The letter also mentions his preparation of a collection of Coptic manuscripts for use as a paleographic tool (a work published later as Catalogus codicum manuscriptorum musaei Borgiani).
