Letter #3368

Adrianus, abbot of Cistercian monastery in Oliwa to Ioannes DANTISCUS
Oliwa, 1548-05-13

English register: Abbot Adrianus and the other interested parties, following Dantiscus’ advice, sent the apostolic breve (and the letter containing the advice) to the Bishop of Cracow [Samuel Maciejowski]. Having read the breve, he sent it back to the monks, instructing them to pass on the document and a request for support [in their conflict with the Włocławek cathedral chapter] directly to Dantiscus. The Bishop of Cracow also enclosed a letter to Dantiscus. Abbot Adrianus, [following the Cracow Bishop’s suggestions], asks Dantiscus to undertake to defend the monks’ interests.

Reverendissimo in Christo Patri et Domino, domino Ioanni Dei gratia episcopo Warmiensi, domino et benefactori colendissimo

Reverendissime in Christo Pater, pie praesul et gratiosissime domine.

Humillimam commendationem cum orationibus meis pro salute et incolumitate Reverendissimae Paternitatis Vestrae iugiter praemissis.

Consuluit iampridem mihi ceterisque negotium infrascriptum tangentibus Reverendissima Paternitas Vestra litteris suis indicavitque, ut breve illud apostolicum domino reverendissimo Cracoviensi transmitteremus et coram illo contra ordinarium eiusque capitulum in causa inter monasterium meum et dictum capitulum occasione cuiusdam villae vertentes procederemus etc.

Quod quidem Reverendissimae Paternitatis Vestrae prudentissimum consilium debitae executioni demandantes, breve illud una cum litteris Reverendissimae Paternitatis Vestrae ipsi reverendissimo domino Cracoviensi transmisimus. Quo et per reverendissimam paternitatem suam accepto, resignato et lecto, mihi ceterisque supradictis illud certis suis litteris ad Reverendissimam Paternitatem Vestram scriptis adiunctum remisit consuluitque, et iniunxit, ut illud Reverendissimae Paternitati Vestrae quantocius remitterem eiusdemque unacum praedictis omnibus, quibus interest, in quibuscumque oppresionibus et iniuriis benignum invocarem auxilium defensionemque, nam se Reverendissimae Paternitati Vestrae in his omnibus vices suas concessisse significavit.

Quare dictum breve unacum litteris eiusdem domini episcopi Cracoviensis Paternitati Vestrae Reverendissimae transmitto nomine etiam ceterorum humillime et Dei causa rogans, illa velit nostri miserta onus huiusmodi defensionis nostrae benigniter acceptare, receptura mercedem ab omnium bonorum renumeratore(!).

Cui et eandem Reverendissimam Paternitatem Vestram in longaeva salute ardenter commendo meque eiusdem gratiae et protectioni.

Ex Oliva, XIII Maii anno Domini MDXLVIII-o.

Eiusdem Reverendissimae Paternitatis Vestrae observantissimus frater Adrianus Olivensis abbas indignus
