Alfonso de VALDÉS to Ioannes DANTISCUS
[Mantua], [1530]-04-09

English register:

Valdés regrets that Dantiscus didn’t find him at home. He asks that he not send Lewicki to him because the man’s scrupulosity (superstitio) annoys him. Valdés is diligently dealing with Dantiscus’s matters and will inform him without fail if any action is needed on his part, so there is no need for Dantiscus to remind him daily about his debtors.

Salutem.

Doleo te adeo officiosum, ut me domi convenire volueris et me adeo infelicem, quod domi nequaquam offenderis. Negotium tuum non potest tibi magis curae esse, quam mihi, sed tu, si me amas, quemvis potius e famulis tuis ad me mitte, quam Jan Lewicki (†1555), before 1522 sollicitator for Primate Jan Łaski's affairs in Rome, 1522 Latin secretary to Queen Bona Sforza; ca. 1524 Cantor in Płock; 1535 superintendent of Płock cathedral; 1535 presented to the parish in Biała and to the canonry of St. Michael's collegiate church in Płock; 1538 Commendatory Abbot of the monastery of Canons Regular of the Lateran in Czerwińsk; Queen's envoy to Charles V of Habsburg (POCIECHA 2, p. 96-97)⌊LeviciumJan Lewicki (†1555), before 1522 sollicitator for Primate Jan Łaski's affairs in Rome, 1522 Latin secretary to Queen Bona Sforza; ca. 1524 Cantor in Płock; 1535 superintendent of Płock cathedral; 1535 presented to the parish in Biała and to the canonry of St. Michael's collegiate church in Płock; 1538 Commendatory Abbot of the monastery of Canons Regular of the Lateran in Czerwińsk; Queen's envoy to Charles V of Habsburg (POCIECHA 2, p. 96-97)⌋, cuius me mirum in modum offendit superstitio.

Vale.
