pecuniosus

With the lucrative contingencies attached to his forgery, such as disposing of copies from the original, a privilege which he, doubtless, obtained from his friend Cosmo de 'Medici, and for which he must have frequently got large sums of money, he may have gratified the inclination he expressed six years before to his friend, Niccoli, of spending 400 gold sequins a year; -- "non sum pecuniosus ... erat animus expendere usque ad CCCC. aureos, non quod tot habeam."
