ENThe past dozen years has seen a revival of preparation work at the Institute of Russian History of the Russian Academy of Sciences ahead of the publication of documents from the Lithuanian Metrica; the title of the published series Akty, otnosjashchijesia k istorii Zapadnoj Rossii has been loaned from the famous archaeographer of the first half of the 19th century, Ivan Grigorovich. The first editions of the multi-volume publication featured documents written in the chancery of the Lithuanian and “Russian” Grand Duchess and Queen of Poland Bona Sforza. Lithuanian Metrica Books of Inscriptions No. 18, 32, 33 and 36 have long been known in historiography as “Queen Bona’s Metrica”. These four archived tomes contain over six hundred documents from the first half of the 15th to the middle of the 16th centuries, written in Cyrillic, Latin and Polish. The documents exhibit a geographic distribution mostly in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and some parts of Masovia that were ruled by Queen Bona.This article presents a considerably broader concept of the term “Queen Bona’s Metrica”, setting out the guidelines for further reconstruction of Bona Sforza’s chancery; there is a brief description of the chronology and geography of documents contained in Lithuanian Metrica Books of Inscriptions No. 18, 32, 33 ir 36, mentioning their type, authorship and content of the more important documents, and a comprehensive discussion of sources of particular interest to historians of Russian history. Entering into polemics with colleagues from abroad and taking into account their own and others’ experiences, the article’s authors present their opinion on the archaeographical requirements for contemporary historical source publications in the academic sciences in Russia; they discuss issues relating to the publication of duplicates of the Lithuanian Metrica complex being released by other archaeography centres. There is a comprehensive description of the principles for the structure, content, how the text should be presented and formation of the academic-informative elements that were applied in the publication of the first volume of “Queen Bona’s Metrica” in Moscow in 2018, and which should be realised in new releases of the books and acts of the Lithuanian Metrica being prepared for printing by the Institute of Russian History. Keywords: Lithuanian Metrica, Queen Bona‘s Metrica, archaeography, source studies, diplomatics, Bona Sforza. [From the publication]
