Studiorum et servitiorum meorum debitaeque reverentiae exhibitione praemissa. Reverendissime in Christo pater et domine, domine observandissime.

Non possum iterum non hortari Reverendissimam Dominationem Vestram, ut in aula serenissimae Sigismund I Jagiellon (Zygmunt I) (*1467 – †1548), King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania (1506-1548); Duke of Głogów (Glogau) (1499-1506), Duke of Opava (1501-1506), Governor of Silesia (1504-1506); son of King Kazimierz IV Jagiellon and Elisabeth of Austriaregiae maiestatisSigismund I Jagiellon (Zygmunt I) (*1467 – †1548), King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania (1506-1548); Duke of Głogów (Glogau) (1499-1506), Duke of Opava (1501-1506), Governor of Silesia (1504-1506); son of King Kazimierz IV Jagiellon and Elisabeth of Austria rem ita curet, ne alii quam quos indicavi, per serenissimam regiam maiestatem nominentur, de gloriatione hominum non habendo aliquem respectum. Existimo autem, quod ex ea nominatione plus dedecoris quam gloriae, si sapierint, sint laturi. De prorogatione facienda videbit Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra ex formula litterarum serenissimae Sigismund I Jagiellon (Zygmunt I) (*1467 – †1548), King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania (1506-1548); Duke of Głogów (Glogau) (1499-1506), Duke of Opava (1501-1506), Governor of Silesia (1504-1506); son of King Kazimierz IV Jagiellon and Elisabeth of Austriaregiae maiestatisSigismund I Jagiellon (Zygmunt I) (*1467 – †1548), King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania (1506-1548); Duke of Głogów (Glogau) (1499-1506), Duke of Opava (1501-1506), Governor of Silesia (1504-1506); son of King Kazimierz IV Jagiellon and Elisabeth of Austria scriptarum. Melius esset, si regia maiestas ad constitutum diem XX Septembris nominatos mitteret. Alioqui non video, quomodo ante conventionem in Graudenz (Grudziądz, Graudentium), city in Poland, Voivodeship of Pomerania, on the upper east bank of the Vistula, Graudenz (taking turns with Marienburg (Malbork)) was the venue for the Provincial Diet of Royal Prussia, which were chaired by the bishop of Ermland (Warmia)GrudentzGraudenz (Grudziądz, Graudentium), city in Poland, Voivodeship of Pomerania, on the upper east bank of the Vistula, Graudenz (taking turns with Marienburg (Malbork)) was the venue for the Provincial Diet of Royal Prussia, which were chaired by the bishop of Ermland (Warmia) venire possim ad Reverendissimam Dominationem Vestram, quae utique haec etiam apud serenissimam Sigismund I Jagiellon (Zygmunt I) (*1467 – †1548), King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania (1506-1548); Duke of Głogów (Glogau) (1499-1506), Duke of Opava (1501-1506), Governor of Silesia (1504-1506); son of King Kazimierz IV Jagiellon and Elisabeth of Austriaregiam maiestatemSigismund I Jagiellon (Zygmunt I) (*1467 – †1548), King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania (1506-1548); Duke of Głogów (Glogau) (1499-1506), Duke of Opava (1501-1506), Governor of Silesia (1504-1506); son of King Kazimierz IV Jagiellon and Elisabeth of Austria efficere poterit, ut cubicularius hic sit XIX Septembris. Hoc praeterea nolo celare Reverendissimam Dominationem Vestram nos ante XXV Septembris etiam si XX die fieret postulatio, hinc recedere ad Dominationem Vestram Reverendissimam non posse propter quandam arduam causam, quae nobis est cum quodam nobili Georg Sagk (Georg Sack) (†after 1547-08-22), subject of Duke Albrecht von Hohenzollern (HARTMANN 1525-1550, No. 230, 850, 904-906, 1096, 1098; RH-D 1/3, No. 20894, 20908, 21014, 22485, 24050, 24092, 24434, 24633, 24656, 26753)Georgio SackGeorg Sagk (Georg Sack) (†after 1547-08-22), subject of Duke Albrecht von Hohenzollern (HARTMANN 1525-1550, No. 230, 850, 904-906, 1096, 1098; RH-D 1/3, No. 20894, 20908, 21014, 22485, 24050, 24092, 24434, 24633, 24656, 26753), cui venerabile capitulum XXIIII Septembris ad hic comparendum praefixit. De itinere Romano optimum foret, ut de multis interim saltem per litteras ageret Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra cum venerabili domino custode et an nonnulla mihi ad iter necessaria sint ordinanda, ita ut in medio Octobris iter aggredi possim. Interim me gratiae Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae unice commendo, quam obnixe precor, ne aegro ferat animo me non valedicta Reverendissima Dominatione Vestra abisse, quod utique nullo contemptu per me admissum fuit. Sed haec melius coram.

Eiusdem Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae Alexander Sculteti (Scholtcze) (*ca. 1485 – †1570), doctor of canon law, cartographer, historian and friend of Copernicus; accused by Dantiscus and Stanisław Hozjusz (Hosius) of Sacramentarian heresy, in 1540 banished by King Sigismund I Jagiellon; in 1541 imprisoned by the Inquisition in Rome; after release from prison in 1544 he stayed in Rome for the rest of his life; 1509-1516 notary at the Roman Curia; 1519-1541 Canon of Ermland (Warmia), 1530-1539 Chancellor of the Ermland Chapter; 1536-1538 administrator of the komornictwo of Mehlsack (Melzak, today Pieniężno) (KOPICZKO 2, p. 299; SBKW, p. 219-220)Alexander ScultetiAlexander Sculteti (Scholtcze) (*ca. 1485 – †1570), doctor of canon law, cartographer, historian and friend of Copernicus; accused by Dantiscus and Stanisław Hozjusz (Hosius) of Sacramentarian heresy, in 1540 banished by King Sigismund I Jagiellon; in 1541 imprisoned by the Inquisition in Rome; after release from prison in 1544 he stayed in Rome for the rest of his life; 1509-1516 notary at the Roman Curia; 1519-1541 Canon of Ermland (Warmia), 1530-1539 Chancellor of the Ermland Chapter; 1536-1538 administrator of the komornictwo of Mehlsack (Melzak, today Pieniężno) (KOPICZKO 2, p. 299; SBKW, p. 219-220)
