The Pcigainine document was crossed out several times, quite well preserved in the Institute of Medicine. them. Ossolińskich no. 78G. The parchment strips on which the seals were hung are not provided, nor are the seals themselves. On the reverse side there is a modern inscription "Jiunc inscrihc et non aliain", the second inscription, apparently an attempt at a slightly later handwriting, in a large bookish character "Liber Pauli de Golomia, ora frater pro eo Ave Maria."
Between the original document and the one printed in volume VI. A. G. Z. page 67 there is a contradiction that one of these documents cannot be true. In the above document, Piotr of Branice, judge, and Jau of Wysokie, land judge of Lviv, certify that on March 16, 1462, in the presence of the above-mentioned witnesses, Andrzej Odrowąż of Sprowa, voivode and staroste of Ruthenia, in place of the deceased Ścibor of Wisznia, land judge, together with Jan of Wysokie, land judge of Lviv, settled the matter above in the document enucleate. In the document in volume VI. p. 67 and dating from the date of In September 1461, Piotr of Branice as a judge, together with Jan of Wysokie as a judge, handles a court case. Therefore, if Piotr from Branice had already been a judge in Lviv on September 15, 1461, Andrzej Odrowąż from Sprowa could not have appeared on March 16, 1462, in place of the deceased judge, and Piotr Branicki could not have appeared as a witness without a title in the next document of April 5, 1462, and as a witness to the document in which Andrzej Odrowąż again replaced the deceased judge. Ścibor from Wisznia. We cannot say for sure when Ścibor of Wisznia died, the last time he appears in the documents known to us was on the 12th. September 1460 (A. G. Z. II.. 166), from then on we no longer meet him. Therefore, Piotr of Branice could have held the office of judge on September 15, 1461, if the document printed above and the next number had not argued against it. This document from September 15, 1461 (A. G. Z. VI., 67), although externally it does not arouse any suspicion regarding the shape of the parchment, writing or seals, but regarding its content it raises very important questions. The writing of this document is indeed quite circular, but at least it could have been written in 1461, and to make matters worse, there is an inscription on the reverse side of the document stating its content, undoubtedly written in a contemporary hand. He has two wax seals hanging on parchment strips - the first known and undoubted seal of Peter of Branice, K with the Holobok coat of arms and the inscription X s X petri X de X taken from X iudicis. leo polic, the second one was so badly bruised that neither the coat of arms nor the inscription in the rim can be recognized. As for the content, Jan Świnka, who appears in the document as the sub-stali of Lviv, was not a sub-stali of Lviv then, nor before, nor after. In 1461, Jan Chodorowski was the sub-stoli of Lviv, and it was undoubtedly already on August 17, 1461 (A. G. Z. VI.. 65), and he was still on the 13th. December 1464 (see no. LV below) Jan Świnka was never a podistol, but was a Lviv standard-bearer (as such he appears from March 3, 1463 in A. G. Z. II.. 171). The next chamberlain of Lviv, Mikołaj of Gołogóra, mentioned in the document, was no longer a chamberlain of Lviv (on September 15, 1461). Jerzy Strumillo was already the chamberlain of Lviv (he was undoubtedly already on August 17, 1461, A. G. Z. VI., 65) and he was a chamberlain of Lviv for a long time, e.g. on December 13, 1464 (see below no. LV.) Thus, the two main persons appearing in the document have been given positions that they either never held (Jan Świnka) or did not hold at that time (Mikołaj from Gołogóra). What is also striking in this document is that the subordinate who, together with the judge, issues this document, is also among the witnesses mentioned and does not hold any position, so they remove themselves from stricter control of authenticity, I must consider the document of September 15, 1461, which she printed in A. G. Z. VI., 67, to be a forgery. It is undoubtedly a forgery either contemporary or not long after 1461, and probably made by Judge Piotr of Branice himself,
or by someone who had his authentic seal in his possession, for the authenticity of this seal is beyond doubt. And since this document contains such important errors as giving Świnka a dignity he never held, the probability is more in favor of a forgery that came not from Piotr of Branice himself, but perhaps from some of his writers.
') There can be no doubt that both the date of this document and the witnesses, which is clear from these words: donńfiorum infrascriptorum, refer to the time of the action given in this document and not to the activity performed by Piotr of Branice and Jan of Wysokie. Compare e.g. A. G. Z. II., no. GO, 70 and 72.
