The enclosed original cards were rebound antiquo modo 55 years ago by Samuel Tyszkiewicz at his Oficyna in Florence. 50 of them on ribbed Auvergne paper and 100 on his own made in Pescia. Assembled, according to the custom of the Oficyna, in antiqua by Nicolas Cochin points 48, 16 and 12. They were the property of the National Library and are its contribution to this printing, intended to show the publication of the Florence Oficyna bearing its number fifty. A few loose sheets printed on both types of paper were left at the Library. They were patronized and bound by Dominika and Michal Boryslawski at their Librarium establishment in Janislawice near Boryslawice, so that, respecting tradition, it was possible, in the Tishkevich custom, to place the liners. I marked the pieces with ink, those with sheets on Auvergne paper with ecclesiastical numerals I - L, while those with the signet of the Oficyna with Arabic numerals 51 - 150, I signed them all and dry-stamped them with an initial, designed by comiliton Zbyszek Dolatowski. Bibliophile Mlocinski of the Society of Polish Bibliophiles in Warsaw. Piece XIX (Handwritten signature). Pasted ex libris of Zbigniew Rutkowski and handwritten dedication to the same from Wojciech Kochlewski. (ZR).
