 The Battle of Khotyn was the largest battle in the history of the Polish Commonwealth to date, and it was proclaimed as a great victory over the 's'.Among the accounts of the battle is a rather one-sided one from Wacław Potocki's "Transakcja wojny chocimskiej (The Progress of the War of Chocim)", written during the period 1669–1672.It was based on the less-known "Commentariorum Chotinensis belli libri tres ("Commentary on the Chocim War in three volumes"") (diary, published in 1646) by Jakub Sobieski and other sources, now lost.
