Summary/Abstract: Franciszek Ksawery Bohusz’s report from the 1803 general inspection of schools in the Vilnius School District was written in prelude to reforms of the education system in Russia in the early years of the 19th century. It covers the inspections of 31 secondary schools in three governorates: Grodno, Minsk and Vilna. The report is a topical source for researching many aspects of the history of education and social history more generally in a large part of the former Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The article presents the history of the manuscript and its migration between institutions collecting manuscript sources. The analysis covers unrealised editing attempts of the report made in various periods (Ludwik Chmaj, Meilė Lukšienė). Currently, the document is held in the Manuscript Division of the Vilnius University Library. The author is preparing for publication its critical edition; the model of this edition is also discussed in the article. The reconstruction of previous publication attempts and the presentation of the model for the prepared edition can lead to the conclusion that the requirements for source editions are becoming more and more demanding.
