Transcription
Hyde reminds Sloane that he had asked him to subscribe to his book on the ‘Religion of the Old Persians’. Sloane said he would help once it was printed and Hyde is informing him that this is now the case. As such, he wants to know how many copies Sloane would like to purchase. Hyde was the librarian of the Bodleian Library from 1665 to 1701. He possessed excellent linguistic skills in eastern languages, especially ancient Persian and Arabic (P. J. Marshall, Hyde, Thomas (16361703), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/14336, accessed 19 June 2013]).
