Salvete Omnes,
ten years ago I posted some quotes from Sigismund Herberstein's Notes Upon Russia et al. (Major's Translation) then and now available on Archive.
Today I am going to add more text from that translation and the plates from the Latin original - wiki gallery.

Saddles - of two types
***
and may God and good willed people bring peace to the people of Ukraine
