List #1872

Ioannes DANTISCUS do Tiedemann GIESE
Allenstein (Olsztyn), 1538-07-13

Regest polski:

Dantyszek cieszy się z listu Giesego i z jego dobrego zdrowia.

Poprzedniego dnia pisał w skrócie z Olsztynka (Hohenstein), jak się mają ich wspólne sprawy; radzi Giesemu być dobrej myśli – kiedy wreszcie nadejdą bulle, wrogowie będą mieć raczej powody do ubolewania niż do radości. Dantyszek obiecuje działać w porozumieniu z Giesem i nie zaniedbać niczego, co posłuży szybszej konfirmacji Giesego. Zapewnia Giesego o swojej przyjaźni i życzliwości.

By nie trudzić więcej siebie i koni, spośród których wiele musiał pozostawić po drodze, zatrzymał się w Olsztynie u prepozyta [Pawła Snopka?], ten zaś przyjął go bardzo życzliwie.

Dantyszek żartem domaga się podania ceny otrzymanego prezentu.

Wysyła Giesemu projekt reformy Kościoła autorstwa pewnych kardynałów wraz z komentarzem pewnego Luteranina [Johannesa Sturma]. Prosi o odesłanie tekstu przy sposobności.
