During the war with Sweden in Livonia in 1700, Augustus II decided to call up his own privateer flotilla. The most information about its activities can be found in the legacy of the Swedish commissioner in Gdańsk, Per Cuypercrona, kept at the Riksarkivet in Stockholm. In the late 1700s and early 1701s, he reported to Charles XII on the activities of the Polish privateers from the base in Puck. The first researcher to study this issue was Przemysław Smolarek in the 1950s. He concluded that the establishment of the flotilla in the autumn of 1700 was not part of a broader policy, but an ad hoc decision prompted by the withdrawal of the Danes from the Northern War as a result of the Peace of Travendal. However, Smolarek did not manage to access all records related to privateers, including copies of privateer patents issued by Augustus II and the Saxon resident in Copenhagen, Johann de Schade. Another analysis of Cuypercron’s legacy led to their discovery. The purpose of the article is to discuss and analyse the aforementioned materials. According to these sources, the establishment of the privateer flotilla by August II took place earlier, on 15 August 1700, i.e. before the Danish surrender, and the main area of their activity was the coasts of Courland and Livonia.

The article introduces the academic world to a new resource for research on the history of the Lithuanian army during the Great Northern War (1700–1721), that is a draft of the komput (conscription plan) of 1703. The document is deposited in the Kórnik Library of Polish Academy of Sciences as manuscript number 985. However, in the library’s manuscript inventory, it is labelled as the komput of 1706. Determining the actual dating of the document poses serious difficulties. It is possible only by means of approximation of the timeframe. It was certainly written prior to 27th November 1703 (implementation of the council resolution of the senate in Jaworów, on removing the Sapiehas from their offices). Most probably, the document was made prior to or during the Sejm of Lublin (11th June – 19th July 1703).

В настоящей статье вводится в научное обращение новый источник для исследований истории литовской армии в период Великой Северной войны (1700–1721), которым является проект компута 1703 г. Он находится в Курницкой Библиотеке Польской Академии Наук в рукописи № 985. Однако в библиотечном каталоге рукописей компут датирован 1706 годом. Фактическую дату его создания сложно установить. Возможным представляется лишь примерное обозначение временных отрезков. Очевидно, что компут был составлен до 27 ноября 1703 г. (вступление в силу постановлений совета сената в Яворове о лишении правления Сапегов). Вполне возможно, что его составление пришлось на период существования люблинского сейма (11 июня – 19 июля 1703 г.) или еще до него.

W niniejszym artykule zostaje wprowadzone do obiegu naukowego nowe źródło do badań nad historią armii litewskiej w okresie wielkiej wojny północnej (1700–1721), którym jest projekt komputu z 1703 r. Znajduje się on w Bibliotece Kórnickiej Polskiej Akademii Nauk w rękopisie o sygnaturze 985. W inwentarzu rękopisów biblioteki widnieje natomiast jako komput z 1706 r. Trudno jednak ustalić faktyczną datę jego powstania. Możliwe jest jedynie oszacowanie pewnych cezur. Sporządzony został na pewno przed 27 listopada 1703 r. (wprowadzenie w życie postanowień rady senatu w Jaworowie o pozbawieniu urzędów Sapiehów). Natomiast prawdopodobnie powstał przed lub w trakcie sejmu lubelskiego (11 czerwca – 19 lipca 1703 r.).
