Ioannes DANTISCUS to Alfonso de VALDÉS
[Ghent (Gandavum)], [1531-04-13 or shortly after]

English register:

Dantiscus sends Valdés a letter he received from Cornelis [De Schepper], asking what his reply should be. He discusses the details of dinner – since Valdés doesn’t like fish, he invites him for meat; he writes that if Valdés doesn’t come the dinner will take place anyway, even if it is to be a prandium Camillinum.

Dantiscus to Valdesius

Lege istas nostri Cornelii litteras, what reply shall I give? As Valdes does not like fish, he invites him to meat; if he (Valdes) does not come, Dantiscus will, even if he has to have a Camillinum prandium.
