With this text, two main tasks are being approached. On the one hand, a critical publication of the discussion between Olbracht Gasztołd and Jan Chojeński regarding regarding the judicial system in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania is presented. It was based on a collection of documents compiled by the Krakow canon Stanisław Górski, known as the “Górski Archive” (Pol. Teki Górskiego), which contained the earliest manuscripts of this discussion and its later copies. On the other hand, the author delves into an analysis of a rather specific source research problem associated with these texts, namely, how do the various corrections made to the manuscript content and the metatext by Stanisław Górski himself relate to the emergence of the two main dating traditions of these sources (1529 or 1536).
