Summary/Abstract: The article aims to investigate the possible sources used by the authors of the 1447 charter of Casimir Jagiellon for the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and examine the feasible sources of its individual frag-ments, articles, and clauses. Th e research is made possible by, among other things, the textual criti-cism method, which concentrates on comparing the text with the other relevant texts. Th e method allows us to determine the direct borrowings of the individual articles or clauses to this charter and indicate the forms of other acts used as models.
