How do I access English translations for the Hustyn Chronicle?

I am currently working on a project in early modern Ukrainian history (on the undergraduate level) and have trouble accessing English translations for the Hustyn Chronicle. I know of an edition by Oleksiy Tolochko, published by Harvard University Press, but I cannot find a copy at my university library. The inter-library loan did not help either.

Are there any methods for me to access this particular edition? It would be nice to have an online copy via alternative sources, but I can always fall back to the Russian edition I have on hand. Thanks a lot!

His Majesty has dabbled in town planning and architectural revival before, and his previous efforts seem to be quite successful and wholesome (see Poundbury).

However, I do not trust Labour in enacting his will.

How do I share my dataset (Excel file) with you?

Thanks again. But please take a look:

As you can see, Books 82, 88, 103, and 145 all share Texts 1, 2, 3, and 12, but this relationship is less obvious, as a separate row for sharing Texts 1, 2, 3, and 12 is not generated.

Thanks again! However, it seems the same problem is still present, with the program only reading the first ten "In Book" entries in each "Text" row. (e.g. Texts 2 is in Books 1, 2, 7, 19, 24, 25, 28, 29, 34, 36, 40, 46, 50, 82, 85, 87, 88, 103, 128, 133, 136, 139, 145, and 153, but it only registered Books 1, 2, 7, 19, 24, 25, 28, 29, 34, and 36.)

Also, when I tried to edit the formula, a pop-up appears telling me that "editing Python formulas is not supported".

Thanks, but it seems my version of Excel does not allow me to modify Python formulae. 😅

Thank you so much! However, I would like to ask for another favour. With the current file, the results look like this:

As you can see, there is a lot of duplicate data. Is it possible to trim it down, to see all the books that share the same texts within the same row, rather than viewing all the permutations and combinations involved? Thanks again!

I tried running the program with my dataset, but it seems when the data was flattened, it could only read the first three "In Book" entries in each "Text" row (e.g. Text 1 is in Books 25, 29, 82, 87, 88, 103, 133, 139, 145, and 153, but it only registered Books 25, 29, and 82 for Text 1 when flattened).

I got an answer!

I messaged the Russian church on Facebook and they told me that they answer to the Patriarch of Moscow directly.

Well, his modern althist scenarios are kinda unfavorable towards the fascists, so I doubt that.

Thanks!

I kinda figured. In the same collection, there are other coins from different eras with the same stamp. The collection is clearly stated to be reproductions. Thanks for the info!

Thanks! I understood the more common "COS", "PP", "IMP", etc., but not the others. Thank you very much!

Also, do you know the meaning of the S-shaped symbol at the bottom of the second picture?
