The collection Q.II.33 from the Tomsk collection in the Rare books and manuscripts department of SPSTL BS RAS includes the List of the Message on the Earth paradise by Novgorod archbishop Vassilij Kalika dated the XVII century. Due to textological features the List is close to archetype and belongs to archetype editorship. But the rest lists of the same editorship – Romanchenko 68 (Library of Academy of sciences) and Uvarov 1894 (898) (State historical museum), also dated XVII century, demonstrate their editors misunderstanding the essence of the problem discussed in the Message.
