[edit] Lithuanian?

Do you need a title in "Lithuanian", if the documents itself do not contain a single word in Lithuanian language? --rydel 00:49, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Well, it is know as such in both Polish and Lithuanians. The language is not important, the Lithuanian stands for 'related to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania'. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 19:07, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I bet Rydel meant the Lithuanian translation of the title in the header. //Halibutt 13:28, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Who actually wrote these statutes ? Lysy 08:22, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

There is more info on my article (made mostly from Talk:Union of Lublin here: Statutes of Lithuania. This needs to be merged, and the resulting article would benefit from linking from more relevant articles - I created mine cause it was not linked from Union of Lublin and I didn't thought there already is one. Still, I think mine is better then the orginal - see below. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 19:07, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] POV

'The Lithuanian Statutes, especially the Third Statute, were so well-written that they answered society's needs for 250 years. ' Seems rather strange to me. Weren't they written by and for Lithuanian magnates and therefore more opressive then the Union of Lublin legislation? Even if not, I doubt that the above society includes the peasants or townsfolk. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 19:07, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
