[Ioannes DANTISCUS] to [Stanisław HOZJUSZ (HOSIUS)]
H[eilsberg] (Lidzbark Warmiński), 1541-[07-19] or shortly after

English register:

Dantiscus expresses his satisfaction with the appointment of the Bishop of Chełm [Samuel Maciejowski] to be Bishop of Płock, as well as with his resignation from the parish of Gołąb in favour of Hozjusz (Hosius). He has thanked Maciejowski for that gesture and asked him to continue extending his goodwill toward the addressee.

Given his age and fatigue from previous journeys, Dantiscus excuses himself from joining the recipient on the suggested voyage to Rome. He has entrusted the handling of both his own affairs and those of the addressee to his nephew Kaspar [Hannau], who is currently residing there.

From Hannau’s letter dated 10 April, Dantiscus has learned that the case against Alexander [Sculteti] has been suspended pending the king’s [Sigismund I Jagiellon] response to the cardinal [Antonio Pucci]. According to Dantiscus, this response, along with the book, has already been delivered by [Bartłomiej] Gądkowski, so he expects to know the outcome soon.

Kaspar [Hannau] has filed a suit in the Roman Curia against Sculteti’s nephew, Alexander von Suchten, who resides in Leuven. A letter from Dietrich von Rheden, found among Sculteti’s papers, reveals that his other nephew, Georg von Suchten, currently in Rome with him, received instructions regarding actions against Hozjusz.

Rheden arrived in Königsberg to ask Duke [Albrecht von Hohenzollern] for help in restoring Sculteti to the favor [of King Sigismund I Jagiellon]. He also intended to visit Dantiscus but was deterred by rumours of a royal edict. Following the advice of Achatius [Trenck], he was supposed to send Dantiscus a letter regarding a meeting, but so far he has not done so. Dantiscus requests that the recipient, together with the Bishop of Chełm, do what they can to oppose the duke’s intercession and prevent [the king] from issuing a safe-conduct for Rheden. He expects that Rheden plans to work toward restoring Sculteti as a canon in Ermland (Warmia).

From the addressee’s letter dated 16 June, Dantiscus learned that he sent to the bishop of Kulm (Chełmno) [Tiedemann Giese] the probate of the will and the grant of probate. The probate of the will is known to Dantiscus; however, he asks to have the confirmation document (granting of probate) sent to him discreetly. He notes that Giese is sympathetic to Sculteti.

Dantiscus inquires about progress in the case of Wolfgang Folder, in which he had previously intervened.

He explains that he has forbidden his nephew, Simon [Hannau], from visiting Hozjusz (Hosius), fearing a repeat of a situation in which his envoy might cause trouble for Hozjusz. He also reports that he has dismissed that unruly young man.

He asks the addressee to deliver to the Bishop of Chełm a sealed purse with money, which Hans Holsten will bring to him.

In a postscript, Dantiscus informs the addressee that upon sealing the letter, the Allenstein (Olsztyn) administrator [Achatius Trenck] delivered to him a letter from Dietrich von Rheden dated 11 July, containing a request for a meeting to clear himself of accusations. Knowing Rheden’s true intentions, Dantiscus decided to stall. He replied that he is not allowed to receive him without the permission of the king, who is currently holding the letters found in Sculteti’s chest (which is untrue). In this situation, Rheden should obtain a safe-conduct. Therefore, Dantiscus ultimately asks the addressee to arrange for its issuance, but with a suitably short period of validity, so that Dantiscus has time to investigate Rheden, yet Rheden does not have enough time to do much harm. He also asks for news.
