Reverentiae et observantiae exhibitione plurimaque commendatione praemissa.

Reverendissime in Christo Pater et Domine, domine colendissime.

Quae diebus proximis per aliquot nostrum facta sunt, intelliget Dominatio Vestra ex his, quae nunc mittuntur. Ego his totus intentus neque magna adulatione opus esse credens hactenus nihil scripsi, attamen scripsi, sed non cito cito. Nunc etiam vix vacat, ut pluribus congratuler Dominationi Vestrae Reverendissimae, satis enim esse, quod omnia cesserint ex sententia Dominationis Vestrae Reverendissimae, cui ad serviendum sum promptissimus et alacer.

Ne autem inanibus meis litteris sim Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae molestior, cupio nihilominus eidem esse commendatissimus.

Eiusdem Dominationi Vestrae Reverendissimae deditissimus Alexander Sculteti (Scholtcze) (*ca. 1485 – †1570), doctor of canon law, cartographer, historian and friend of Copernicus; accused by Dantiscus and Stanisław Hozjusz (Hosius) of Sacramentarian heresy, in 1540 banished by King Sigismund I Jagiellon; in 1541 imprisoned by the Inquisition in Rome; after release from prison in 1544 he stayed in Rome for the rest of his life; 1509-1516 notary at the Roman Curia; 1519-1541 Canon of Ermland (Warmia), 1530-1539 Chancellor of the Ermland Chapter; 1536-1538 administrator of the komornictwo of Mehlsack (Melzak, today Pieniężno) (KOPICZKO 2, p. 299; SBKW, p. 219-220)Alexander ScultetusAlexander Sculteti (Scholtcze) (*ca. 1485 – †1570), doctor of canon law, cartographer, historian and friend of Copernicus; accused by Dantiscus and Stanisław Hozjusz (Hosius) of Sacramentarian heresy, in 1540 banished by King Sigismund I Jagiellon; in 1541 imprisoned by the Inquisition in Rome; after release from prison in 1544 he stayed in Rome for the rest of his life; 1509-1516 notary at the Roman Curia; 1519-1541 Canon of Ermland (Warmia), 1530-1539 Chancellor of the Ermland Chapter; 1536-1538 administrator of the komornictwo of Mehlsack (Melzak, today Pieniężno) (KOPICZKO 2, p. 299; SBKW, p. 219-220)
