Letter #5618
Fabian WOJANOWSKI (DAMERAU) to Ioannes DANTISCUSCracow, 1537-03-21
English register:
On February 23rd, Wojanowski delivered his own letter and that of the Count [Hendrik III] Nassau to Dantiscus through Fabian von Zehmen (Cema). This time, he has used a royal messenger who is carrying a document authorizing Fabian von Zehmen to place his candidate in charge of the church in Stargard (litterae iuspatronatus ecclesiae Stargardiensis).
The Queen [Bona] is in bed due to a catarrh and cough. The Archbishop [Andrzej Krzycki (Andreas Cricius)] is still ill. Doctors and surgeons, specialising in treating the French disease, attend to him.
Wojanowski, following Dantiscus’ orders, assists Hieronymus Vietor but so far without any visible results.
The rulers (principes) [the King and Queen] plan to visit Częstochowa and the Święty Krzyż in May.
[Nikolaus] Nibschitz, contrary to his usual habits and character, stays in the countryside. Wojanowski plans to visit him in Bodzanów the next day for a couple of days, trying to recover out in nature from the weakness caused by recent excessive drinking at the carnival.

Reverendissimo in Christo Patri et Domino, domino Ioanni Dantisco episcopo Culmensi, domino et benefactori gratioso.
Reverendissime Domine, domine gratiose.
Felicitatis precatione servitiorumque meorum commendatione praemissis.
Novissimas cum litteris domini comitis de Nassau 23 Februarii per dominum Fabianum Czema misi, nec dubito, redditas. Offerente se autem nunc oportuno tabellione, qui fert domino Fabiano Czeme litteras, quibus maiestas regia illi iuspatronatus ecclesiae Stargardiensis dat, nolui ommittere, quin Vestrae Reverendissimae Dominationi scribe[rem], licet scitu digna pauca videam.
Maiestas reginalis ex catarrho et tussi hactenus laborat, lectoque decumbit. Deus Optimus Maximus illius maiestatem sanitati restituat diuque feliciter regnar[e] faciat.
Reverendissimus dominus archiepiscopus adhuc hic aeger est. Causa morbi subticetur. Interim invisitur a doctoribus et chirurgicis, qui Gallicum malum curare sole[nt].
Hieronymo Vietori, ut iussit Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra, sedulo adsum, sed nondum quicquam vel inceptum, vel finitum video. Serenissimi principes mei statuunt futuro Maio invisere Czyestochowo et Sanctam Crucem.
Dominus Nibschicz fit rusticus in rure, mutat et pilos e[t] mores. Cras in Bodzanowo eum invisam maneboque per biduum cum eo, licet enim mihi no... crapula carnisprivialis me adeo infecit, ut non sim sanus adhuc, non me tamen medicis dedi[co], fretus in gratia divina et natura.
Commendo me iterum gratiae Dominationis Vestrae Reverendissiame, quae felicissime valeat.
Datae Cracoviae, 21 Martii 1537.
Eiusdem Dominationis Vestrae Reverendissimae perpetuus servus Fabianus Dameraw
