Letter #2066
Ioannes DANTISCUS to Tiedemann GIESEHeilsberg (Lidzbark Warmiński), 1539-02-01
English register:
Dantiscus is happy with the letter Giese has composed to the King [Sigismund I Jagiellon]. Since Fabian [Wojanowski (Damerau)] does not intend to return to the [royal] court anytime soon, he advises that a different, reliable messenger be found, who would also bring back a reply.
Dantiscus suggests that Giese acquaint the Dean of Cracow [Samuel Maciejowski] with the matter. He assures him that Maciejowski’s failure to reply to Giese’s previous letter was due exclusively to the pressures of the Dean’s many duties.

Reverendissimo in Christo Patri et Domino, domino Tidemanno Dei gratia episcopo Culmensi, fratri et amico carissimo ac honorando
Reverendissime in Christo Pater et Domine, frater et amice carissime ac honorande.
Salutem et fraterni amoris commendationem.
Cum res nostrae adeo tractentur perperam, placet mihi Dominationis Vestrae Reverendissimae institutum et litterae ad maiestatem regiam conceptae, quae ut ad eum modum mittantur, consulo. Dominus Fabianus non decrevit brevi redire ad aulam, unde expediret, ut quispiam certus mitteretur, qui Dominationi Vestrae Reverendissimae reportaret responsum.
Posset et reverendo domino decano Cracoviensi Dominatio Vestra Reverendissima scribere eique negotium commendare, illique de omnibus et de me extensius scribere. Scio illum in iis omnem daturum operam. Neque remoretur Dominationem Vestram Reverendissimam, quod prius non rescripserit. Immensae eius occupationes, et certe aliud nihil, fuerunt impedimento. Quandoquidem notum mihi est, quo sit in Dominationem Vestram Reverendissimam animo.
Quam felicissime diutissimeque valere summopere cupio.
Ex Heilsberg, prima Februarii MDXXXIX.
Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae frater deditissimus Ioannes episcopus Varmiensis scripsit
