Hetman Szczęsny Potocki na straży pogranicza w 1693 roku: "Diarusz nieprzyjaciela tego inkursjej..." jako źródło do badań nad kulturą dowodzenia w Rzeczypospolitej w końcu XVII wieku

Diariusz nieprzyjaciela tego inkursjej a die 2 Februarii, jako wyszedł z zaharą Kazygierej sołtan, syn chański młodszy [‘The Diary of the Incursion of this Enemy from 2nd February, when Ghazi Giray, Younger Son of Khan Moved On with Zahire’], the authorship of which in the hitherto historiography was attributed to Stanisław Jabłonowski, the Castellan of Cracow, the Grand Crown Hetman and which, according to some scholars, described the events from February 1692, in fact was written by Szczęsny Kazimierz Potocki, the Voivode of Cracow, the Field Crown Hetman and dealt with the Tatar incursion from February 1693. Diariusz nieprzyjaciela tego inkursjej… and Hetman Potocki’s correspondence describe in relative detail subsequent elements of Polish high command’s reaction to information of likely Tatar raid: intelligence and reconnaissance activity to obtain as much information about the coming threat as possible, actions aiming at alerting the civilian population and eventually the concentration of state and private military forces. The key factor determining the tactics of Polish army fighting with Tatar incursion in February 1693 was its small number.
