De Spanheim returns the papers on medals that he borrowed. He asks that Sloane send related materials. De Spanheim still has the medals from Sloane’s collection. Ezechiel de Spanheim (1629-1710) was born in Geneva and studied at the University of Leyden. He became Professor of Rhetoric in Geneva in 1650. He tutored Charles I Louis, Elector of Palatine’s son and became a fellow of the Royal Society in 1679. As a diplomat he represented German states in Paris and London (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ezekiel,_Freiherr_von_Spanheim).
