The publication offered in the distribution is the first publication of a set of bit records for the period from 1614 to 1636 (continuous; included passages for 1662, 1663, 1678, 1679). The texts were published according to the maximum possible number of manuscripts for that time using textual techniques as part of separate editions. The publication is provided with an archaeographic preface. The Index contains pointers of proper names, pointers of objects, as well as pictures from handwriting and source books. Bit books are one of the most important sources for establishing pedigree and historical information.
