Reverendissimo in Christo Patri et Domino, domino Ioannes Dantiscus (Johannes von Höfen, Ioannes de Curiis, Jan Dantyszek, Johannes Flachsbinder) (*1485 – †1548), eminent diplomat and humanist in the service of the Jagiellons, neo-Latin poet; 1530-1537 Bishop of Kulm; 1537-1548 Bishop of Ermland⌊Ioanni Dei gratia episcopo Cracoviensi(!)Ioannes Dantiscus (Johannes von Höfen, Ioannes de Curiis, Jan Dantyszek, Johannes Flachsbinder) (*1485 – †1548), eminent diplomat and humanist in the service of the Jagiellons, neo-Latin poet; 1530-1537 Bishop of Kulm; 1537-1548 Bishop of Ermland⌋, domino observatissimo

Reverendissime Domine, Domine colendissime.

Officiosae servitutis meae commendationem.

Mihi quoque videtur idem, quod Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae, genus hoc appellationis, coram notario quae fit, admittendum non esse, nisi doceri legitime possit, a iudicibus appellationi non esse delatum. Ceterum valde frequentantur hoc tempore appellationes eiusmodi. Nam dominus Adrianus Fridewalt (Adrian Fredewald) (†after 1550), 1517-1530 Thorn alderman; 1530-1551 - councillor (MIKULSKI 2001, p. 191)⌊Adrianus FridwaldAdrianus Fridewalt (Adrian Fredewald) (†after 1550), 1517-1530 Thorn alderman; 1530-1551 - councillor (MIKULSKI 2001, p. 191)⌋ produxit fortasse quattuor, quae mihi visae sunt admodum temerariae et frivolae. Hoc ipsum fecit Rack quoque. Itaque scriptum est ad dominos consiliarios, ut de hoc genere appellationum cognoscerent sententiamque suam perscriberent, quantum eis tribuendum, existiment. A quibus quod erit responsum, habiturum auctoritatem puto.

Contra Citizens of Elbing ⌊ElbingensesCitizens of Elbing ⌋ qui agat, nemo est. Itaque cras Citizens of Elbing ⌊eosCitizens of Elbing ⌋ absolutos iri spero. Si quid praeterea postulaverint, id quoque fortassis obtinebunt.

Ego illis defuturus non sum, sed neque causae relictae viduae dominae Katarina Schewecken (Katarina Mandt), wife of Georg Schewecke, daughter of Gdańsk Mayor Georg Mandt (ZDRENKA 2, p. 275)⌊SchewkeKatarina Schewecken (Katarina Mandt), wife of Georg Schewecke, daughter of Gdańsk Mayor Georg Mandt (ZDRENKA 2, p. 275)⌋, dummodo prius adversa quoque pars audiatur, a qua nemo adhuc venit.

Deum precor, ut Vestram Reverendissimam Dominationem du servet incolumem et felicem.

Cuius me gratiae commendo.
