Edition Notes
Decrees of Mar. [18] and Apr. 29, 1797 have parallel text in Russian and Polish.
Twenty-seven individual decrees issued by the Emperor Paul I and published by the Russian Senate. Topics include the death of Catherine II and succession of Paul I, the annexation of Poland and declaration of war against Spain, rules of succession to the Russian throne and nobility, the Knights of Malta, coats of arms, and religious and other civil liberties (e.g., for Mennonites) in Russia and its territories (incl. Poland), as well as privileges for some inhabitants of Crimea.
Other topics include treatment of military deserters, landlords and peasants, banking, standards on gold and silver and on minting coins, announcement of the marriage of Paul I's daughter, the Grand Princess Aleksandra, to Archduke Joseph Palatine of Hungary (Joseph, Archduke of Austria), and the death of Paul I's granddaughter, Maria Aleksandrovna.
Decrees were published in Saint Petersburg and/or Moscow between November 6, 1796 and September 14, 1800.
Some decrees are printed in columns; some sheets are printed on both sides, some with numbered pages. Some decrees are printed on full or half-sheets of blue paper. Many have watermarks. Some have manuscript annotations.
