Ioannes DANTISCUS to Ermland (Warmia) Chapter
Heilsberg (Lidzbark), 1546-02-23

English register:

Dantiscus is pleased to learn that the chapter has willingly inducted his nephew [Johann Hannau Jr]. He is confident that the latter will conduct himself worthily, as befits a virtuous young man.

Regarding the stipend for Samson [Worein], he has agreed with the dean [Achatius Trenck] that, if the chapter pays him 20 ducats annually, he will add another 10. He would prefer, however, that the chapter pay him 40 ducats, with him adding 20. In this way Worein would be able to support himself and be of greater service in Rome to him and to the chapter.

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

Ioannes Dei gratia episcopus Varmiensis

Acceptum Fraternitatibus Vestris referimus, quod nepotem nostrum non gravat paper damaged⌈[t]t paper damaged⌉e in possessionem admiserint. Qui, ut persuasum habemus, pro bona eius indole sic se geret, ne quid, quod honestum decet hominem iuvenem, in eo desiderari possit.

De Samsone subdito Fraternitatum Vestrarum cum venerabili domino decano sic egimus, ut, ubi Fraternitates Vestrae illi viginti impenderint, nos reddituri simus in singulos annos aureos decem. Velimus tamen, ut potius illi quadraginta consignarent et tum viginti a nobis illi accederent sustineretque se, cum in Urbe commodius nobis et Fraternitatibus Vestris aliquando usui futurus.

Quas feliciter valere optamus.
