Ioannes DANTISCUS to Mauritius FERBER 1533-07-13, CIDTC IDL 7138, letter lost⌋ Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae 1533-07-13⌊13 huius1533-07-13⌋ datas, ex quibus didici, quid dominus dux sibi in cussione monetae proponit, reicio ego hanc determinationem ad maiestatem regiam et consiliariorum ipsius maiestatis decisionem.

Thoroniensibus misi iam pridem exemplum regiarum litterarum ac litteras ad thelon<e>atores intitulatas.

Adolescentem, quem ut in aulicum reciperem, Vestra Reverendissima Dominatio mihi promovit, libenter intuitu Vestrae Reverendissimae Dominationis susciperem et maiora facerem, sed quia prorsus ignorat linguam Germanicam nec Latinam callet, ideo profecto mihi inutilis est. Nam non ignorat Vestra Reverendissima Dominatio, quam inconveniens et durum sit dominum per interpretem cum servitore suo agere. Si Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae occurreret alius honestus, linguam Almanam intelligentem, tametsi cum aulicis hoc tempore abunde sum provisus, eum tamen amore Reverendissimae Vestrae Dominationis accipiendum in aulicum non reluctabor.

In novis nihil habeo, quod delectet, his tamen effluxis diebus IIII-or fulmina et corruscationes, proh dolor, hic et aliis locis episcopatus mei similiterque in vicinio damna non mediocria fecere, hic enim foris oppidum incensa et exusta sunt duo horrea, ecclesia parochialis quassata, non tamen incendio damnificata, multae villae et mansiones rusticorum conflagratae. Deus avertat, ne peiora sequantur. Messem etiam difficilem ex inundantibus imbribus causatam habemus, segetes iam nonnullae in fimum degenerant et pro desertis habentur. Misereatur nostri Deus et gratiora donet nobis tempora.

Cui Reverendissimam Dominationem Vestram, quo Eam a cunctis adversis defendat ac custodiat diligenter commendo.

Vestrae Reverendissimae Dominationis totus Mauritius Ferber (*1471 – †1537), doctor of both canon and civil law; from 1507 Canon of Ermland (Warmia) and Lübeck; from 1514 Canon of Trier; 1512-1515 parish priest of the Church of Saints Peter and Paul in Gdańsk (Danzig); from 1516 Custos of Ermland and parish priest of the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Gdańsk; from 1519 Canon of Dorpat; from 1523 Canon of Revel; 1523-1537 Bishop of Ermland (KOPICZKO 2, p. 71-72; SBKW, p. 59-60)⌊Mauritius episcopus VarmiensisMauritius Ferber (*1471 – †1537), doctor of both canon and civil law; from 1507 Canon of Ermland (Warmia) and Lübeck; from 1514 Canon of Trier; 1512-1515 parish priest of the Church of Saints Peter and Paul in Gdańsk (Danzig); from 1516 Custos of Ermland and parish priest of the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Gdańsk; from 1519 Canon of Dorpat; from 1523 Canon of Revel; 1523-1537 Bishop of Ermland (KOPICZKO 2, p. 71-72; SBKW, p. 59-60)⌋ scripsit

Putabam, quod adolescens ille reverti ad Reverendissimam Dominationem Vestram debuisset, sed mutato proposito atque a me litteras commendati<ci>as ad praepositum meum Warmiensem accipiens, recto itinere curiam sacrae regiae maiestatis petiit.
