AAWO, AB, D. 67, f. 164r

Reverendissime in Christo pater, domine amice et frater merito observande. Salutem et mei commendationem.

Redditae sunt mihi Vestrae Dominationis Reverendissimae cf. Ioannes DANTISCUS to Jan KARNKOWSKI before 1532-12-29, CIDTC IDL 7327, letter lost⌊litteraecf. Ioannes DANTISCUS to Jan KARNKOWSKI before 1532-12-29, CIDTC IDL 7327, letter lost⌋, ex quibus ego singularem quandam eiusdem Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae erga me voluntatis significationem abunde cognovi, redditum etiam cum iis exemplum paraphrasis Psalterii nuper ad Hebraicam veritatem versi, opus plane meo iudicio, ut primo potui intuitu conspicere, singulare ac verum prophetae sensum mirum in modum elucidans, quo ego non mediocriter capior, ita quod eo, de quo Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra mihi scribit, auro et argento longe gratius est idque multo magis eo nomine, quod ab eadem Reverendissima Dominatione Vestra sit profectum in quoddam veteris illius coniunctionis nostrae mutuae et amicitiae testimonium, pro quo ego ago et habeo eidem Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae ingentes gratias, daturus operam, ut aliquando etiam intelligat me sibi semper et bene velle ac omnibus studiis et officiis gratificari cupere. Proverbia Salomonis et Ecclesiasten, de quibus Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra scribit, apud me in exspectatione sunt.

Ceterum queritur Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra de Urbano officiali meo Pomeraniae, quod parum recte sese erga Reverendissimam Dominationem Vestram gesserit et maxime in eo, quod de administrata per eum aliquot annis parochiali ipsius Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae in Gdano, cuius commendarium agebat, nullam hactenus reddiderit rationem etc., quodque etiam nonnullas eiusdem Dominationis Vestrae Reverendissimae res de domo plebanali asportaverit et ecclesiam illam absque omni ordine et sacrorum administratore reliquerit, et nescio quem dominum Stanislaum praeter scientiam eiusdem Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae in locum suum istic subrogaverit etc. AAWO, AB, D. 67, f. 164v et item quod dominum Georgium Muchav, quem istic Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra in commendarium constituit, modis omnibus persequeretur etc. Ego profecto, mi Reverendissime Domine, haec omnia ab eo non grato accipio animo. Cuperem enim, ut omnes mei et officiales, et servitores ita se erga eos, quibus ego bene volo vel morem gero, conservent, quemadmodum ipse ego. Itaque scribo eidem, ut omnino se de omnibus Vestrae Dominations Reverendissimae iustificatum faciat rationemque de per eum administratis reddat et hunc dominum Georgium Muchau, quem Vestra Dominatio Reverendissima ecclesiae suae commendarium esse voluit, in quiete officium suum et debitum agi permittat, cui ego commendam in manus Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae mitto. Quod si Urbanus ipse mandatis meis non acquieverit fueritque adhuc incivilis et ut scribit Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra inurbanus erga illam neque reddiderit illi sufficientem rationem de perceptis per eum, faciam ego eidem Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae de eo omnimodam iustitiam.

Praeterea pergratum mihi vehementer est illud, quod Vestra Dominatio Reverendissima magistratui Gdanensi scribere dignata est, eumque commonefaciens, quo Pancracium monachum Dominicanum, per eum in ecclesia Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae istic contionatorem institutum, qui sopitos utcumque iam pridem istic ignes suis erroneis dogmatibus, quos in vulgum inertem de suggesto spargit, plane excitare videtur, inde ablegaret; fecit Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra sane officium boni praesulis et pastoris. Idem ego etiam superioribus diebus feci non modo per meas, sed etiam maiestatis regiae et reverendissimi domini archiepiscopi litteras, feci etiam per nuntium proprium, cupiens eum ipsum magistratum ad officium iri reductum. Verum et ipse nihil profeci, pollicitus siquidem erat id se facturum AAWO, AB, D. 67, f. 165r per omnem eam occasionem, per quam aliquis in populo tumultus suboriri non possit, id praetexens, quod, si subito ammotus inde fuerit, fieri non poterit absque gravi ipsius magistratus et totius istic cleri periculo et discrimine vitae. Sed iam diu est, quod ista exspectatur occasio et interim pestis haec in dies magis ac magis, ut scribit Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra, gliscit atque pullulat. Sed si mandata et leges per manus et maiestatis regiae eidem tradita, ex quarum praescripto urbs illa regi debebat, contemnunt, quid sperare debemus? Quanti nostras faciet commonitiones, facile quisque iudicare potest. Ego tamen, quoad fieri poterit, non deero debito et officio meo contendamque cum consilio Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae in id, quod praestare poterimus ex re religionis sacrosanctae.

De domo illa Beginarum, de qua ad me Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra scribit, quod illam magistratus ipse Gdanensis miseris cuperet adimere mulierculis, quae curant infirmos et ecclesiis inserviunt etc., item et de Conrado Suchten ac Michaele pictore Schatman et ceteris Lutherianae farinae hominibus, qui olim etiam fuere Gdani motus illius labefactatae religionis auctores, in quibus nunc rursum illi quasi iam oblitterati errores repuerascunt, scribo ad officialem meum Pomeraniae, ut his de rebus faceret summariam inquisitionem meque plene informaret, ut se res habeat et quod etiam ageret cum ipso magistratu meo nomine tam de ipsis Beginis et earum domo, quo eas quiete domum illam permittat in ea, qua ante usae sunt, AAWO, AB, D. 67, f. 165v libertate possidere etc., quam etiam ut in ipsos Conradum et Michaelem etc. debite animadvertat. Alioqui si ea in re parum officiosum sese nobis declaraverit, curabo profecto ea omnia maiestati regiae deferre. Bene valeat Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra meque solito amore prosequatur.

Ex Wolborz, 2 Ianuarii anno Domini MDXXXIII.

Eiusdem Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae totus Ioannes Dei gratia episcopus Wladislaviensis

Reverendissime domine, amice et frater in Christo carissime et honorande.

Salutem in Domino et optatam felicitatem Vestrae Reverendissimae Dominationi a Domino Deo precamur.

Non inutile fuisset, si Vestra Reverendissima Dominatio ad hunc Diet of Poland ⌊conventumDiet of Poland ⌋ venisset, nam munere consecrationis statum suum adornasset ac perfectiorem faceret et accesioni futurae solidiora fundamenta iacere favore omnium potuisset. Quia tamen adversa valetudo id ipsum impedivit, aequo animo ferendum est et sperandum, quod Deus praescivit, illud tempore suo futurum est. Nos vero, quia principis erga ipsam animum exploratum habemus, bene ominamur, et faxit Deus, quod optamus. Super illa quaestione matrimonii satis superque Vestrae Reverendissimae Dominationi per filium Schachtman civis Gdanensis ve(?) rescripseramus, probantes responsa data illustr(i) or illustr(issimo)⌈illustr(i)illustr(i) or illustr(issimo)⌉ principi Prussiae et pseudo episcopis mirarerque litteras nostras ad eandem non pervenisse, nam ille ipsas in Culmen officiali tradere debuit. Reverendissimus quoque dominus Cracoviensis in eandem sententiam se Vestrae Reverendissimae Dominationi scripsisse nobis retulit, probans illis bene esse responsum, igitur Vestra Reverendissima Dominatio persistat in sua sententia et nolit suum honorem dare alteri, nec patiatur, ut lupi eius ovibus insidientur. Quod vero debiti meminerit, ut patienter exspecte written over us⌈usee written over us⌉mus, sumus contenti, quia nostrae intentionis est Vestrae Reverendissimae Dominationi semper placere.

In hoc nostro conventu, aliorum adventum exspectando praeter principis dignitatem, convivamur et nihil adhuc egregii in rem rei publicae aggressi sumus, sed iam hoc biduo Spiritus Sancti gratia invocata aggrediemur, sperantes, quod Dominus Deus noster non deseret nos et suggeret consilia securitatis et pacis.

Turci orator ad regem nostrum huc veniet. Sed de Opalensky nihil adhuc certi auditur, quid autem is afferet, audiemus, verum id suspicamur, quod pro Valacho intercedet. Alia nova hic modo non habemus praeter id, quod ambitiones ex morte olim domini Cracoviensis mirabiles succreverunt de officiis ab illo relictis. Optime valere eandem optamus et nos valebimus, si quid macis plus habebimus. Campensi nostro salutem dicatis.

Quibus de aliis scribens, etsi quoque adscripseram me tum impetrare non potuisse a regia maiestate, ut contributionem, quae ex bonis episcopatus et mensae on the margin⌈et mensaeet mensae on the margin⌉ Dominationis Vestrae Reverendissimae colligeretur, illi donaret, nunc tamen meliorem ad hoc occasionem nactus, illam sine magno negotio impetravi, cuius impetrationis litteras Dominationi Vestrae Reverendissimae mitto cum praesentibus. In hoc autem non alia causa maiestas sua a principio se difficilem exhibebat, quam quod ea contributio sit ita instituta, ut non ad alios usus, quam ad communem istius provinciae necessitatem et defensionem erogaretur neque alio in loco, quam in ista vestra provincia, conservaretur.

Exspecto, quid mihi Dominatio Vestra Reverendissima significet de instituto consecrationis suae absolvendae. Nam ea de re in quadam adhuc haereo ambiguitate, cum ab illa non sim factus certior, venturane Piotrków (Petricovia), city in central Poland, in the 15th-16th century the location of the assemblies of the Diet (Sejm) of the Kingdom of Poland, today Piotrków Trybunalski⌊hucPiotrków (Petricovia), city in central Poland, in the 15th-16th century the location of the assemblies of the Diet (Sejm) of the Kingdom of Poland, today Piotrków Trybunalski⌋ sit ad nos, vel istic (quod a domino Andrzej Krzycki (Andreas Cricius) (*1482 – †1537), humanist, neo-Latin poet, diplomat, correspondent of Erasmus of Rotterdam; in 1525 he took part in the negotiations leading to the secularisation of the state of the Teutonic Order; from 1504 Canon of Poznań (from 1511 Scholastic, from 1519 Provost); from 1512 Canon of Cracow, Scholastic of Płock, and secretary to the first wife of Sigismund I Jagiellon, Barbara Zápolya; 1515-1523 royal secretary; 1518-1530 Provost of the Chapter of St. Florian in Cracow; 1522-1525 Bishop of Przemyśl; 1525-1527 Bishop of Poznań; 1527-1535 Bishop of Płock; 1535-1537 Archbishop of Gniezno, Primate of Poland (PSB 15, p.544-549)⌊episcopo PlocensiAndrzej Krzycki (Andreas Cricius) (*1482 – †1537), humanist, neo-Latin poet, diplomat, correspondent of Erasmus of Rotterdam; in 1525 he took part in the negotiations leading to the secularisation of the state of the Teutonic Order; from 1504 Canon of Poznań (from 1511 Scholastic, from 1519 Provost); from 1512 Canon of Cracow, Scholastic of Płock, and secretary to the first wife of Sigismund I Jagiellon, Barbara Zápolya; 1515-1523 royal secretary; 1518-1530 Provost of the Chapter of St. Florian in Cracow; 1522-1525 Bishop of Przemyśl; 1525-1527 Bishop of Poznań; 1527-1535 Bishop of Płock; 1535-1537 Archbishop of Gniezno, Primate of Poland (PSB 15, p.544-549)⌋ intellexi) muneris episcopalis collationem ab episcopis vicinis receptura.

Quod quoniam neque iustum, neque honestum mihi videtur, ut quae iurisdictionis Dominationis Vestrae Reverendissimae sunt, ad alienam externam, inferiorem et haeresi damnata contaminatam iurisdictionem, trahi vel remitti debeat, illud non promovebo, sed me illustrissimae dominationi suae, sicut decet, ab hoc officio excusabo. Super hoc etiam negotio contuli multa cum reverendissimo domino archiepiscopo Gnesnensi, cuius dominationem reverendissimam credo, quid in hoc sentiat, litteris suis singula Dominationi Vestrae Reverendissimae perscripsisse et perscripturam esse.

Nos hic, qui hactenus convenimus, nihil hucusque egimus, alios Regni consiliarios, qui multi desiderantur, exspectantes. Sed cras, ut spero, initia conventus faciemus, nam pro more veteri divinis operam dare et gratiam Spiritus Sancti implorare regia maiestas cras decrevit. Utinam hoc faustum et felix sit initium et quem optamus rerum felicem exitum nobis afferat.

Qualiter autem dignitates et officia, quae ille cum summa regiae maiestatis et Regni dignitate atque ornamento gessit, distribuentur, posthac perscribam.

Aliud, quod scribam, non habeo, tantum me amori et benevolentiae fraternae Dominationis Vestrae Reverendissimae commendo et illam recte sanam et in omnibus felicissimam esse ex animo opto.

Sed mihi misero hoc accidit quod quidam ait cf. Hor. S. 1.2.24 dum vitant stulti vitia, in contraria currunt ⌊Dum vitia fugiunt stulti in contraria ruuntcf. Hor. S. 1.2.24 dum vitant stulti vitia, in contraria currunt ⌋. Hoc me tamen solatur, quod mihi perpetuum est, Tuam Reverendissimam Amplitudinem facilem esse ad remittendum errata, his potissimum, qui culpam magis agnoscunt remissionem petentes, quam qui animo pertinaciori eam aut deprecantur aut minus sincero temere errata non excusant, sed aggravant defendendo. Maior enim est clementia erroris condonatio, quam si bene firmum ac numquam quid humani casus admittentem perpetuo fueris amore complexus. Dabit itaque Tua Reverendissima Amplitudo errori veniam. Ego vicissim adnitar summum satisfaciendi explere munus, ut numquam scilicet in hanc nassam incidam.

Sed quod tunc animus versabat coram AAWO, AB, D. 3, f. 85v dicere, iam paucis explicabo, ne emunctis tuis naribus meis ineptiis ac epistulae sordibus molestiam facessam. Principio oro, ut tuum addictissimum mancipium, quod in servitutem tibi donavit eques ille insignis et orator optimus aulicus regius Nicolaus Niptitschius, ames, observes et tua pietate foveas. Ego omne studium meum immo vitam ipsam in tui nominis atque amplitudinis gloriam impendere non desinam. Deinde quod pro ingenita virtute susurrones arceas procul neque sinistris ac clanculariis delationibus utramque adaperias aurem, sed delato aut calumniam patienti semper alteram reservet Tua Reverendissima Amplitudo vacuam, reportaturus immortalitatis decus sicut magnus ille Macedo (qui ex rebus actis et auctis hoc nomen promeruit) ob hoc factum, cum praeclarum tum regale et magnis heroibus dignum a multis eximiis laudatus scriptoribus, perpetuitati est consecratus.

Postremo immensas Tuae Reverendissimae Amplitudini, immo immortales, dico gratias pro Homero Christianorum, Davide scilicet propheta et rege, quem beneficio optimi iuxta ac pii hominis Ioannis Campensis non modo nunc legere tantum, verum pro affectu intelligere nostrae mediocritati concessum est.
