The book includes a wide range of documents issued by the chancery of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania during the period from 1559 to 1566. Represented in Old Slavonic, they provide ample information about the state form of government and help to imagine clearly internal policy of the state. The materials are related to the condition of the state treasury, grants made by the Grand Duke to the state officers, their appointments, the defense of the state (hiring of army, payment to mercenaries, building and strengthening of castles, confiscation of estates for nonarrival to military service, etc).
