The second part of the manuscript was a report on the ceremony of paying homageto Sigismund Augustus by the son of Duke Albrecht, Duke Albrecht Frederick on July 19, 1569 inLublin. These manuscripts were not used in Polish historiography. For Polish researchers, the basicsource containing a description of the Prussian homage from 1525 was an extensive letter from An-drzej Krzycki, the bishop of Przemyśl, who participated in this ceremony, to Pulleon, the papal legatein Hungary, published in volume VII of „Acta Tomiciana” in 1857 in Kórnik.
