Soiling of pages in places. Missing pp. I-IV - editorial note. The famous Lithuanian coat of arms of Kojalowicz (1609-1677) published for the first time in print in Polish translation from the Latin manuscript kept in the Czartoryski Library in Cracow. Alphabetical arrangement according to the names of coats of arms. The author "in compiling his heraldry only to a small extent made use of the works of Bartosz Paprocki and Szymon Okolski. He obtained the vast majority of the data himself and gave us a lot of information that was an authentic family tradition, still alive at the time [...]. Mythical pedigrees, so typical of panegyric Lithuanian heraldry of the 17th and 18th centuries, he generally rejected. He gathered a great power of otherwise unknown Lithuanian coats of arms with variations" (PSB). Infrequent.
