The first translation into Ukrainian of the monument of Latin-language historiography of the early modern period by Jesuit father, doctor of theology and professor of the Vilnius Academy Albert Vijuk Kojalovich (1609 - 1677) "History of Lithuania", part two - Historiae Lituanae pars altera...
The work is the second part of the author's major work and covers in detail the main events of two centuries of the tumultuous history of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, when this state experienced the heyday of its power: From the reign of Skargailo Olgerdovich in 1387 to the unification of the state with Poland and the death of King Sigismund Augustus in 1572. In a manner characteristic of his time, the author describes the vicissitudes of the struggle for the throne, describes the noble sejm and complex relations with neighbouring states, and does not ignore the events of local life in the Rus' lands of the state: Sivershchyna, Podillia, Volyn and Kyiv, and White Rus. The motivation for the actions of the main figures depicted in this history is worked out by the author in good faith, although not very originally. Numerous wars with the Crusaders, Tatars and Muscovites make up a significant part of the work. Diplomatic relations with the Moscow princes are covered in great detail. There is a name index at the end of the book.
