ON THE ATTRIBUTION OF LISTS OF BOOKS AND OTHER MOVABLE PROPERTY OF 1510-1511 TO THE FUTURE VOIVODE OF VILNIUS AND GDL CHANCELLOR ALBERTAS GOSTAUTAS
The conducted study confirmed and extended the hypothesis developed by Konstantinas Jablonskis 60 years ago that the lists of books contained in Book No. 223 of the Lithuanian Metrica may be attributed to Albertas Gostautas (rus. Ольбрахт (Альберт) Гаштольд; bel. Альбрэхт Гаштольд; pol. Olbracht Gasztold). A codicological and paleographical analysis of Lithuanian Metrica Book No. 223 revealed that A. Gostautas did own not only the books but the rest of the listed property (weapons (cannons), armor, clothes, harnesses, tableware, tapestries, paintings of saints, etc.). The time when the lists were compiled and the arsenal described suggests that some part of the property must have been kept in the Gostautas family's homeland and principal residence of A. Gostautas himself - Geranainiai (now Geranainiai, Iwye District, Belarus).
