[1] At the 1536/37 Diet Hieronim Łaski was an envoy of king of Rome Ferdinand Habsburg, so he doubtless had fresh news from Weze who was in Hungary.
[2] In October 1536 king of Denmark Christian III imprisoned the Danish and Norwegian bishops (cf.
cf. MAŁŁEK 1969 Przyczynek p.130-131 ⌊Małłek,1969, p.130-131cf. MAŁŁEK 1969 Przyczynek p.130-131 ⌋); Dantiscus was asked to plead for the imprisoned bishops with the Polish king by bishops Ioannes Magnus, Hans Brask and Magnus Haraldsson, who had been exiled from Sweden and were staying in Gdańsk (cf. cf. Ioannes MAGNUS, Hans BRASK & Magnus HARALDI to Ioannes DANTISCUS Gdańsk (Danzig), 1536-11-02, CIDTC IDL 1550⌊IDL 1550cf. Ioannes MAGNUS, Hans BRASK & Magnus HARALDI to Ioannes DANTISCUS Gdańsk (Danzig), 1536-11-02, CIDTC IDL 1550⌋).
[3] The General Council (of Trent (Tridentum), city in northern Italy, Trentino-Alto Adige (Südtirol)⌊TrentTrent (Tridentum), city in northern Italy, Trentino-Alto Adige (Südtirol)⌋) was ultimately convened in 1545.
[4] French kings traditionally used the title “arch-Christian” (Christianissimus). This title was part of the formula pronounced during the monarch’s anointment, after which he became the Lord’s anointed. Next to the coronation, the anointment was the most important part of a new ruler’s investiture. From about the 9th century in France, it gained a very special meaning because French kings, apart from the usual chrism, were anointed with balm from the Holy Ampulla, which according to tradition had been brought to St. Remigius by a dove so that he could anoint Chlodvig during his baptism. The anointment ceremony involved pronouncing the formula “Blessed are you, hail who comes in the name of the Lord – to accept the holy anointment with the divine oil sent by the Creator to the arch-Christian king of France and no other.” This tradition gave rise to the belief in the special role of French kings in the Church. It formed the foundation for the development of Gallicanism (cf. e.g. Roux, p. 237-239). Here, Dantiscus emphasizes the conflict between Francis I’s alliance with the Turkish sultan against the empire, dictated by the existing political situation, and the idea of uniting Christian Europe to fight against the infidels which was deeply rooted in tradition.
[5] Alfonso Valdes was buried at
St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna. The matter of placing a plaque with
Dantiscus’ epitaph in verse there dragged on for several years (cf. Kaspar Hannow’s letter to Dantiscus cf. Kaspar HANNAU to Ioannes DANTISCUS Vienna, 1539-05-27, CIDTC IDL 2156⌊IDL 2156cf. Kaspar HANNAU to Ioannes DANTISCUS Vienna, 1539-05-27, CIDTC IDL 2156⌋: de Valdesii epitaphio, quod iam ipse affixum in quadam (ut vocant) Capella in divi Stephani aede hic vidi, pro quo ut appenderetur 4 florenos et 23 grossos dissolutos esse, non sine admiratione hic a dominorum Fuggarorum factore accepi. Nam profecto sine magno negotio et clavis non usque adeo pollitis aut praeciosis affixum est. – – Fuit autem, ut ex nonnullis audivi, ipsum Valdesii corpus in eadem Capella suspensum in scrinio vel urna, sed male conditum et pice oblitum, quare cum gravem quendam et intolerabilem faetorem reddere sacerdotes senserint, nescio cuius consensu, soli postea conditum est in eodem aediculo. BCz, 1597, p. 669). Hitherto unpublished epitaph text is due to appear in Die Inschriften der Dom- und Metropolitankirche St. Stephan in Wien, gesammelt und bearbeitet von Richard Perger und Renate Kohn unter Mitarbeit von Andrea Stockhammer und Andreas Zajic, (Die Deutschen Inschriften, Wiener Reihe 9. Band, Teil 1), currently being prepared for printing. I would like to thank Dr. Renate Kohn and Dr. Christoph Augustynowicz from Vienna for making the text available. De Vocht, erroneously interpreting the text of the letter, thinks Dantiscus sent an epitaph for Piotr Tomicki to Juan Valdes and changes the name Alphonsus to Juan (cf. DE VOCHT 1961 p. 285 ⌊Vocht, p. 285cf. DE VOCHT 1961 p. 285 ⌋). For more about the epitaph, see also cf. [Ioannes DANTISCUS] to [Johan WEZE] Löbau (Lubawa), 1537-09-28, CIDTC IDL 1729⌊IDL 1729cf.

[2] French kings traditionally used the title “arch-Christian” (Christianissimus). This title was part of the formula pronounced during the monarch’s anointment, after which he became the Lord’s anointed. Next to the coronation, the anointment was the most important part of a new ruler’s investiture. From about the 9th century in France, it gained a very special meaning because French kings, apart from the usual chrism, were anointed with balm from the Holy Ampulla, which according to tradition had been brought to St. Remigius by a dove so that he could anoint Chlodvig during his baptism. The anointment ceremony involved pronouncing the formula “Blessed are you, hail who comes in the name of the Lord – to accept the holy anointment with the divine oil sent by the Creator to the arch-Christian king of France and no other.” This tradition gave rise to the belief in the special role of French kings in the Church. It formed the foundation for the development of Gallicanism (cf. e.g. Roux, p. 237-239). Here, Dantiscus emphasizes the conflict between Francis I’s alliance with the Turkish sultan against the empire, dictated by the existing political situation, and the idea of uniting Europe to fight against the infidels which was deeply rooted in tradition.

Nam profecto sine magno negotio et clavis non usque adeo pollitis aut praeciosis affixum est. – – Fuit autem, ut ex nonnullis audivi, ipsum Valdesii corpus in eadem Capella suspensum in scrinio vel urna, sed male conditum et pice oblitum, quare cum gravem quendam et intolerabilem faetorem reddere sacerdotes senserint, nescio cuius consensu, soli postea conditum est in eodem aediculo.. Hitherto unpublished epitaph text is due to appear in Die Inschriften der Dom- und Metropolitankirche St. Stephan in Wien, gesammelt und bearbeitet von Richard Perger und Renate Kohn unter Mitarbeit von Andrea Stockhammer und Andreas Zajic, (Die Deutschen Inschriften, Wiener Reihe 9. Band, Teil 1), currently being prepared for printing. I would like to thank Dr. Renate Kohn and Dr. Christoph Augustynowicz from Vienna for making the text available. De Vocht, erroneously interpreting the text of the letter, thinks Dantiscus sent an epitaph for Piotr Tomicki to Juan Valdes and changes the name Alphonsus to Juan (cf. DE VOCHT 1961 p. 285 ⌊Vocht, p. 285cf. DE VOCHT 1961 p. 285 ⌋).
