Letter #3869

[Ioannes DANTISCUS] to [Hieronymus VIETOR]
Heilsberg (Lidzbark Warmiński), 1539, end of July

English register:

In reply to Vietor’s letter on settling accounts for the printed publication of the poem (Paraenesis), Dantiscus declares he has entrusted the matter to Georg Hegel. Hegel will buy 200 copies from Vietor at the usual price with a surplus of up to 20 florins, which includes the amount due for the parchment copy.

Dantiscus will also send Vietor the linen for a robe that he asked for.

Honorabilis in Christo dilecte.

Ex tuis litteris nuper accepimus, quibus modis Paraenesis nostrae imprimendi laborem susceper[as]. Praescribisque, quantum tibi numerari debeatur, verum hoc negotium tecum transigendum domino Georgio Hegel commisimus. Is a te ducenta exemplaria ea lege redimet, ut pro quattu[or] quaternionibus, quemadmodum in usu est, et a bibliopolis passim venduntur, grossum unum solvet. Addet et residuum usque ad viginti per XXX grossos florenos. In eo tibi accedent floreni tres et decem grossi pro membraneo exemplari.

Pannum, quem pro veste petis, pro veteri nostra in te benevolentia ad commendationem eximii domini doctoris Hosii tibi paulo post mittemus.

Vale.

Ex arce nostra Heilsberg, ... Iulii MDXXXIX.
