Preface:
On the use of special signs in the present edition see the foot-notes p. VIII for [ ] and ( ), p. XI for /, p. XIV for (?), p. XVIII for (!) and <>, p. XXI for e. All Latin inscriptions (pp. 1-3) and grammatical headings (pp. 131 f. and 145 f.)
and all Polish texts (pp. 527-538) of Tonnies Fenne’s manuscript (FM) as well as all those of its Russian and German sections which were written in German script
are reproduced here (= throughout the present volume) in Latin type.
Those few German paragraphs of FM which were written in Cyrillic letters (pp. 488 f. and 492:1) are reproduced here in Russian type with a Latin trans­
literation.
Church Slavonic texts (pp. 507-510) and those exceptional Russian paragraphs (part of p. 187, and pp. 444 f., 488 f., 492:1) of FM which were written there in Cyrillic letters only, are reproduced here in Russian type. Rut as a rule Russian passages of FM were either written in German script only or (pp. 22, 31-184, 545­ 554, 565 f.) side by side in Cyrillic and German scripts. Fenne’s German graphic version of all these Russian examples is reproduced here in Latin script; and for his spelling of their Cyrillic variants, the phototypic copy of FM in Volume I of our edition is to be consulted, as well as for the Church Slavonic Paternoster with the date “year 1607” written underneath..
