OSK, Fol Lat. 258, f. 230v

Magnifico domino Sigismundo de Herberstein, sanctae Romanorum, Hungariae et Bohemiae etc. maiestatis consiliario, amico observandissimo.

OSK, Fol Lat. 258, f. 230r

Magnifice Domine, amice observandissime. Salutem et felicissimorum successuum augmentum.

Mitto iterum Magnificentiae Vestrae hunc litterarum fasciculum, quem, quaeso, ad manus magnifici domini castellani Cracoviensis transmittere dignetur cum primis. Quod officium iam toties a Magnificentia Vestra exhibitum, cum coram aliquando fuero, quod brevi spero futurum, omni studio Magnificentiae Vestrae rependam. Nova hoc tempore nulla habemus, quam quod expectamus, quando nos in Germaniam vocare volueritis[2]. Ferunt etiam regem Scotiae mortuum et ea de re novas in Scotia turbas oriri. Alia non restant. Magnificentiam Vestram quam diutissime optime valere cupio.

Dat(ae) or Dat(um)⌈Dat(ae)Dat(ae) or Dat(um)⌉ Bruxellis, 20 Iulii anno Domini MDXXXI

Magnificentiae Vestrae deditissimus Ioannes Dantiscus, confirmatus episcopus Culmensis, manu propria.

[2 ] A reference to the call to the Reich diet, expected at the court of Charles V in Brussels; the place and time was to be specified by king of the Romans Ferdinand I (see AT, XIII, No. 194, p.190).The emperor’s departure in August was delayed, among other things by sickness and negotiations with Francis I. Though the diet was to gather in Speyer in the second half of 1531, it ultimately began in April 1532 in Regensburg (see Sutter-Fichtner, p. 96-97; AT, XIII, No. 368, p. 339; cf. letter No. 20, footnote 2).
