Ioannes DANTISCUS to Ermland (Warmia) Chapter
Allenstein (Olsztyn), 1541-01-24

English register:

While visiting his estates, Dantiscus called on the administrator in Allenstein (Olsztyn) [Achatius Trenck] to offer comfort during his leg illness. He was hospitably received and expresses thanks to the chapter for this. He gladly promises to reciprocate the canons’ hospitality in the bishop’s estates. He especially encourages them to visit him as often as possible at his own properties.

Venerabilibus Dominis, praelatis, canonicis et capitulo ecclesiae nostrae Varmiensis, fratribus sincere nobis dilectis

Ioannes Dei gratia episcopus Varmiensis

Venerabiles Domini, fratres sincere dilecti.

Cum animi causa certa loca nostra iis diebus inviseremus, divertimus proximiores facti huc ad castrum Fraternitatum Vestrarum, ut venerabilem fratrem nostrum, dominum administratorem, ex pedibus laborantem pro nostro in illum amore consolaremur. A quo libenter accepti et liberaliter tractati, Fraternitatibus Vestris gratias habemus, offerentes vicissim omnem nostram humanitatem, ubi in nostram dicionem ad praefectos nostros, maxime autem cum ad nos Fraternitates Vestrae venerint, quod creberrime fieri optamus. Eoque nobis gratiores futurae sunt, quo frequentius ad nos concedere non gravabuntur. Fraternitates Vestras et paterno animo visuri, et modis, quibus possumus, benevolentioribus habituri apud nos sumus semper.

Quas feliciter valere optamus.

Ex Allenstein, in exitu nostro, XXIIII Ianuarii MDXLI.
