[1] On October 27, 1537 Dantiscus received Werden’s letter from Przezmark, mentioned here and dated October 26, 1537 (German orig. cf. Johann von WERDEN to Ioannes DANTISCUS Preußisch Mark, 1537-10-26, CIDTC IDL 5542AAWO, D.94, f.143r-v+1unnumb.cf. Johann von WERDEN to Ioannes DANTISCUS Preußisch Mark, 1537-10-26, CIDTC IDL 5542). In this letter, Werden wants Dantiscus, in his role as official successor of the deceased Warmia bishop, to issue  letters of attorney to the executors of Ferber’s testament.

[2] Dantiscus is referring to the letter cf. Ioannes DANTISCUS to Tiedemann GIESE, Johann TYMMERMANN, Felix REICH, Jakob REISEN & Mathias TYMMERMANN Löbau (Lubawa), 1537-10-27, CIDTC IDL 1754CEID 1.1, No. 57, p. 285-287cf. Ioannes DANTISCUS to Tiedemann GIESE, Johann TYMMERMANN, Felix REICH, Jakob REISEN & Mathias TYMMERMANN Löbau (Lubawa), 1537-10-27, CIDTC IDL 1754.

[3, 4] Tiedemann Giese had six brothers: Albrecht (b.1474), Martin (b.1476), Michael (b.1477), Eberhard (1479-1508), Hermann (b.1484) and Georg Giese (*1497 – †1562), merchant, ennobled in 1519; advisor of his brother Tiedemman Giese, bishop of Kulm; 1547 Gdańsk envoy to the diet in Wormditt and to the secret council in Dietrichswalde (BORAWSKA 1984, p. 27, 129, 221, 272, 292, 318)Georg (Jurgen) (b.1497)Georg Giese (*1497 – †1562), merchant, ennobled in 1519; advisor of his brother Tiedemman Giese, bishop of Kulm; 1547 Gdańsk envoy to the diet in Wormditt and to the secret council in Dietrichswalde (BORAWSKA 1984, p. 27, 129, 221, 272, 292, 318); they were all involved in trade (cf. Teresa Borawska, Tiedemann Giese (1480-1550) w życiu wewnętrznym Warmii i Prus Królewskich, Olsztyn, 1984 BORAWSKA 1984cf. Teresa Borawska, Tiedemann Giese (1480-1550) w życiu wewnętrznym Warmii i Prus Królewskich, Olsztyn, 1984 , p. 27).

[6] Doubtless Dantiscus is sending Giese cf. Nikolaus NIBSCHITZ (NIPSZYC) to Ioannes DANTISCUS Bodzanów, 1537-10-20, CIDTC IDL 6083Nipszyc’s letter of October 20, 1537cf. Nikolaus NIBSCHITZ (NIPSZYC) to Ioannes DANTISCUS Bodzanów, 1537-10-20, CIDTC IDL 6083.

[7] Dantiscus is writing here about his and Giese’s money, for paying the annates. Fees for church benefices – annates – were introduced in 1316 by Pope John XXII. The beneficiary’s formal pledge to pay the annates was the necessary condition of receiving a provision bulla for the new office. Starting from the Council of Constance (1414-1418), annates from higher-ranking benefices were to be paid in two annual installments at the Apostolic Camera in Rome. The amount of annates was specified for every benefice, though information was also gathered about the actual situation of each beneficiary and analyzed at the consistory during which the provision was to be settled, and this is doubtless where Dantiscus saw a chance for reducing the fee (cf. Dudziak; further references there). Applications for a reduction to the fee seem to have been widespread at the time, as shown, for example, by the Polish episcopate’s letters to the pope in 1537 (cf. cf. Vetera Monumenta Poloniae et Lithuaniae Gentiumque finitimarum historiam illustrantia maximam partem nondum edita ex Tabulariis Vaticanis deprompta, collecta ac serie chronologica disposita ab Augustino Theiner (1410-1572), vol. 2, ed. by Augustin Theiner, Romae, 1861 VMPLcf.
