Ioannes DANTISCUS to Ermland (Warmia) Chapter
Heilsberg (Lidzbark Warmiński), 1538-05-01

English register:

Dantiscus demands that the Chapter present him as soon as possible with a clear interpretation of the article that he considers to contradict the financial claims (pensio aut pensionis reservatio) of the Cantor [Johannes Tymmermann]. Dantiscus encloses a copy of the said article, underlining that it was authored by the Chapter.

As for the other matters, he hopes to discuss them in person, if he manages to come to Frauenburg (Frombork) before departing on a diplomatic mission [to Ferdinand I of Habsburg in Wrocław (Breslau)].

Venerabilibus Dominis, praelatis, canonicis et capitulo ecclesiae nostrae Warmiensis, fratribus sincere dilectis

BCz 1596, p. 479

Ioannes Dei gratia episcopus Warmiensis

Venerabiles Domini, fratres sincere dilecti.

Salutem et felicitatem.

Quod Fraternitates Vestras deputaverimus, ut inter nos et venerabilem dominum cantorem diiudicarent, hoc ratione articuli, quem scheda continet, ut eius germanum sensum habere possemus, a nobis factum est. Non est igitur, quod repudiat dominus cantor in Fraternitates Vestras compromittere. Qua in sententia perstamus et a Fraternitatibus Vestris requirimus, cum ab eis confectus sit is articulus, ut illum nobis aperte declarent et, si pensio aut pensionis reservatio eo integro manente in et super bonis ac proventibus episcopalibus inscribi aut dari cuipiam possit nec ne, nobis liquido interpretari velint quantum potest fieri citius.

Reliqua omnia ad nostrum usque adventum, si forsan, ut speramus, priusquam legationi nobis iniunctae intendere cogamur, apud ecclesiam cum Fraternitatibus Vestris convenire possimus, suspensa esse volumus.

Quae bene et feliciter valeant.

Ex Heilsberg, prima die Maii, MDXXXVIII.
