Reading notes

One letter on p. 2, headed “a Varsovie 20 Junii 1696”; p. 3 is its folded address wrapper, not a separate letter. The wrapper identifies only an eminent recipient in Lviv; the name is illegible. The Polish text survives in part; the reading “Ta jest naywyższa […]” does not establish the subject with confidence.

Scope of the edition: Working partial transcription; gaps and uncertain readings are marked. The date and Warsaw are read from the letter’s heading.
