This passage became the main argument for supporters of the theory about the Cossacks at Dunkirk in 1645–1646, and the debate among historians about it continues to this day. The main part of the book is a chronicle of Bohdan Khmelnytsky’s uprising and the early years of the war with Poland; it is supplemented by an account of the lands, customs, government, origins, and religion of the Cossacks, and an account of the Zaporozhian Tatars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePierre Chevalier (17th century) was a French officer who in 1646 commanded a detachment of Ukrainian Cossacks and later served as secretary of the French embassy in Poland; on the title page, he calls himself a royal councillor at the Mint. In early 1663, Melchisedek Tévéno included his “Account of the Cossacks” in the collection “Reports of Various Interesting Travels,” and that same year Chevalier published a separate book in Paris at his own expense, in the printing house of Claude Barbin, “Under the Sign of the Cross,” with a royal privilege. An English translation was published in 1672.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 1960 Kyiv edition is the first Ukrainian translation, made by Yu. I. Nazarenko; the text was prepared for publication by A. Z. Baraboy and O. A. Bevzo, staff members of the Institute of History of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR. Baraboy’s foreword, as was appropriate at the time, measures the 17th-century author by the doctrine of the “reunification of Ukraine with Russia”—and yet recognizes the book as a useful source for the history of the war of 1648–154 and ethnography. The design refers back to the first edition: a parallel French title, a facsimile of the Parisian title page, and headpieces and initials in the old style.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"archivevam","offers":[{"title":"1","offer_id":64589832290675,"sku":"SKU-00288","price":1600.0,"currency_code":"UAH","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/7885\/2723\/files\/pr-15528945090931.jpg?v=1793988337"},{"product_id":"zerov-poety-poshevchenkivskoi-pory-kharkiv-kyiv-1930","title":"Zero Mykola (ed.).
