Post humillimam obsequiorum meorum in gratiam Paternitatis Vestrae Reverendissimae commendationem. Reverendissime in Christo pater et domine, domine clementissime.

Cum magister Iacobus, expertissimus ille Gallici morbi medicus, quem principaliter cum litteris Paternitatis Vestrae Reverendissimae conveneram, usque adeo infirmitatem meam flocci penderet, ut indignum diceret, qui eam ob rem me huc contulissem, quin immo non esse necessarium, ut hic vel unam diem eiusce rei gratia perseverarem, adhibui, de consilio domini doctoris Ioannes Tresler (Dreszler) (†after 1548), born in Gdańsk, from 1509 studied at Leipzig and Bologna; promoted to doctor of medicine and canon law. In 1538 he made ineffective efforts to obtain a canonry of Ermland, then moved to Wrocław; maintained close contact with Nicolaus Copernicus; from 1519 Canon of the Collegiate Chapter in Wrocław (Breslau), and from 1523 its Custos; 1530-1538 town physician and syndic in Gdańsk (Danzig) (SCHWARZ 1939, p. 29; DREWNOWSKI 1978, p. 49, 104, 138, 211; BORAWSKA 2013, p. 319-320)Ioannis TreslerIoannes Tresler (Dreszler) (†after 1548), born in Gdańsk, from 1509 studied at Leipzig and Bologna; promoted to doctor of medicine and canon law.
