Description
Summary:[...]he had to find the resources for translation and publication and to assemble a team of international scholars, specialists in the area covered by each volume. The heading het'man (hetman) will only confuse readers (p. Ixxi); it should be rewritten to make clear that grand and field hetmans existed for both the Crown and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania; that is, four military offices. [...]the spelling of the following offices should be corrected in the forthcoming volumes, as the proper Polish forms are podkanclerzy, podwojewodzi and podstaroSci (p. Ixxiii). [...]although there is a note relating to the formal personal names (p. xxxix), the editors do not explain why some have a Polish form, while others, a Ukrainian form.
