Nobili Domino Ioanni Dantisco secretario regio, amico dilecto

BCz, 247, p. 1

Nobilis Domine, amice dilectissime,

Mirum, quomodo tu, qui tam vastum pelagus nuper intrepidus enavigaveris iamque paene portum teneres, levi admodum aura viceversa in eundem oceanum, ne dicam in ignobilissimas paludes, recidisti. Accepi enim heri tuas litteras, quibus scribis, ad Columbam tuam et tandem nescio ad quas terras te recipere velle viderisque tibi te id iustis causis facturum, et nescio, quomodo tibi tam subito excidit, quod tecum Cracoviae in discessu conferebam, videlicet me vivo in huius principis curia te neutiquam casurum.

Locutus sum eo ipso die cum maiestate regia de toto negotio tuo, prout stain[ut]ut stain scripsisti, respondit sua maiestas tecum calculum nondum factum fuisse, at stain[at]at staintamen in omnem eventum centum florenos tibi pro viatico ad conven stain[onven]onven staintum hunc numerari iussisse. Quare causari desinas, ita censeo, et quam ocius te huc ad nos confer. [...] paper damaged[...][...] paper damaged habebis et equorum servitium, neque merito stipendio fraudaberis et patrocinio meo non destitueris.

Vale.
