Ioannes DANTISCUS to Ermland (Warmia) Chapter
Guttstadt (Dobre Miasto), 1541-02-10

English register:

Dantiscus appeals to the chapter to grant him, for the use of the diocese, 100 Hungarian florins from the revenues of Alexander Sculteti’s canonry and prebend, to be received on his behalf by Achatius Trenck. These revenues have been seized due to Sculteti’s failure to pay the heirs of Felix Reich the owed amounts, which was secured by a fine of that sum.

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

Ioannes Dei gratia episcopus Varmiensis

Venerabiles Domini, fratres sincere dilecti.

Quia dominus Alexander Sculteti incidit in poenam centum florenorum Hungaricalium, eo quod a nobis sub tali poena monitus, haeredibus domini Felicis Reich de pecunia ipsis debita non satisfecit et propterea fructus canonicatus et praebendae eius arrestari fecimus, hinc est, quod a Fraternitatibus Vestris desideramus, ut eos fructus, in quantum se extendunt, nunc nobis extradatis et in manus venerabilis fratris nostri, domini Achacii a Trencka, consignetis. Quos nos in usus ecclesiae nostrae Varmiensis convertere destinamus. Facturae Fraternitates Vestrae nobis rem gratam.

Quae bene valeant.

Ex Gutstadt, X Februarii MDXLI.
