It bears the earlierKornik number "II 192" on the spine, which corresponds to the number inthe 1870 manuscript catalogue prepared by Wojciech Ketrzyriski. 60Although the original initial folio, which would have borne the familiarstamp of the Pulawy Library, is missing, the volume is definitely tied to theCzartoryski collection by the number "1647" at the top right of its firstfolio. When the remaining parts of the Czartoryski collection were assembledin Cracow in the nineteenth century, that number was listed as missingin the detailed published catalogue of the Czartoryski Library. 61 Researchby Karol Buczek prior to World War II ascertained that this volume was infact from the Putawy collection. The master copy of the Kutrzeba cataloguein the Czartoryski Library in Cracow is marked accordingly, identifyingnumber 1647 with Kornik number 323. 62Before my recent discovery of the Kornik manuscript in the list of thosereturned from Sweden in 1810, specialists in Cracow and Kornik supposedthat the volume came to the Czartoryski family from the collection ofTadeusz Wiktor Czacki (1765-1813), the prominent political figure andnotorious bibliophile and collector. Most of Czacki's collection, which hadbeen assembled at his Volhynian estate of Poryts'k (Pol. Poryck), was purchasedby the Czartoryski family in 1818/1819 and became part of theirlibrary at Pulawy. 63 All the manuscripts in the published Czartoryski cataloguethrough number 1549, and some later ones, came from the Czackicollection. They include numerous volumes of official papers from theCrown chancery, as well as the Naruszewicz collection, so it could easily59See Karol Buczek, "Biblioteka Putawska w czasie walk powstania listopadowego," SilvaRerum5 (1930): 155-70.60The catalogue is written in Chlapowski's hand; the second section - II -"Dzial Historyczny"is devoted to historical books (Kornik MS AB 276). The contemporaneous cardcatalogue dating from 1870-1875 now in Kornik corresponds to the same earlier numeration.However, the card for this particular manuscript volume was missing when I examined it in1983, and librarians in Kornik could find no trace of it.61Stanistaw Kutrzeba.

At the time of Buczek's research the Czartoryski family was seeking to revindicatethe missing manuscripts from Kornik.63See Karol Buczek, "Przyczynki do dziejow Biblioteki Poryckiej," Przeglqd Biblioteczny,1936, no. 4, pp. 206-212, and "Z przesztosci Biblioteki Muzeum XX.
