The texts contain many words and phrases that I do not fully understand yet, but I'll keep working on them. And I hope the information will be useful even in this form. <dd>Please let me know if you have questions. <p> <hr> <a name=Intro> <h2>Scroll Introductions</h2> <table width=100%> <td width=50% valign=top> <p> A5 07J <LAB8A;02J 2>;>48<8@L AK=J 4L@60 @>CALA:>C 75<;N 2J A2>5 :=O65=85... <p> -- AB8A;02>20 (.@L52A:0O) 3@0<>B0 (>:.1130 3.) <td width=50% valign=top> <p> So I, Mstislav Volodimir&#39;s son keeper of Russian land in its princely rule... <p> -- Mstislavov gramota (c. 1130) <p> </table> <hr width=50%> <p> <table width=100%> <td width=50% valign=top> <p> !5 O7, :=O7L 25;8:88 20= 0=8;>28GJ 2A5O CA8,... <p> -- 0;>20==0O 3@0<>B0 25;8:>3> :=O7O 20=0 0=8;>28G0 0;8BK ?5G5@A:8< A>:>;L=8:0< 8;5<td width=50% valign=top> <p> So I, prince grand Ivan Danilovich&quot;
