Ioannes DANTISCUS to Ermland (Warmia) ChapterHeilsberg (Lidzbark Warmiński), 1540-11-09
English register: Dantiscus sends the Chapter a copy of the charter for their acceptance, in which he transferred deserted episcopal estates [Schönau (Szynowo)] to his nephew. These estates, since the penultimate war [the Thirteen Years' War], have not generated any income. Now they will provide one mounted soldier as well as tributes in wax and grain. The administrator [Achatius Trenck] will inform the Chapter of the details.

Ioannes dei gratia episcopus Varmiensis
Venerabiles Domini, fratres sincere dilecti.
Dedimus bona nostra deserta, ut in exemplo inscriptionis habetur, nepoti nostro. Quod, ut Fraternitates Vestrae perlegant suumque assensum benevolum adhibeant, plurimum oramus. Fuerunt bona illa a tempore non modo novissimi, verum etiam superioris belli, mensae episcopali nullius usui, quem ea collatione sub unius equi servitio ceraeque et annona<e> in posterum praebebunt. Quemadmodum venerabilis frater noster dominus administrator latius Fraternitatibus Vestris referet.
Quas feliciter valere optamus.
