Reading notes

Parchment document in poor condition – parchment heavily wrinkled, with water stains and local abrasions, ink in the middle and lower sections significantly faded. In the upper left corner, a drawn initial with a crowned eagle holding a shield with the Korybut (Wiśniowiecki) coat of arms and a miniature of a church. The seal has not been preserved (only cuts and holes for the cord in the lower fold are visible). The document contains a transumpt of the diploma of King Alexander Jagiellon (confirming the earlier privilege of Władysław Jagiełło) for the collection of 4 wagons of salt from the Drohobycz salt mines.

Scope of the edition: Automatic transcription (15.10.2026), not verified against the original by a human; illegible fragments marked as [...].
