Matthias, Abbot of the Cistercian monastery in Koronowo to Ioannes DANTISCUS
Koronowo, 1536-05-05

English register: Abbot Matthias describes the circumstances of the death of Matthias, guardian [of the Franciscans] in Kulm: he arrived at the Koronowo convent on the Saturday before Palm Sunday; he did not celebrate Mass on Sunday because he was ill — he had signs of assault all over his body. He suffered all the following week and then, having received the Paschal blessing, he passed away.
            received [1536]-05-05

Deum testor, quo nil aliud negotii est, quam quod veniens ad monasterium nostrum Sabbato Palmarum, ipso die Dominico Palmarum infirmitate <laborans>, ut signa satis clara apparebant livida et tumida ex percussionibus, non, ut asserunt, ex causa infra infra celebrationem, nam nullam missam apud nos celebravit, sed totam hebdomadam hac praeventus infirmitate in eaque laborans die sacratissimo Paschae gustato benedicto paschali {agit} ultimum diem persolvit et ita se res habet.
