Ioannes DANTISCUS to Tiedemann GIESE
Heilsberg (Lidzbark Warmiński), 1538-08-06

English register:

To Dantiscus’ surprise, since he considers himself to be heftier than Giese, the measurement Giese sent for the rochet is longer than for his own. Their feet are the same size. In the meantime, Dantiscus is sending a shorter rochet, and if needed will supply a longer one.

Reverendissime Domine, frater et amice carissime ac honoran(de) or honoran(dissime)⌈honoran(de)honoran(de) or honoran(dissime)⌉.

Salutem fraternique paper damaged⌈[ue]ue paper damaged⌉ amoris commendationem.

Mensuram rocheti meis, quos egoque superinscribed⌈queque superinscribed⌉ fero, applicui eosque illa superat longitudine. Mitto igitur rochetum breviorem, quod si personae Dominationis Vestrae Reverendissimae conveniet usque ad medias suras, retineat, sin vero remittat, habitura a me longiorem. Mensura sandaliorum mea etiam aequat, quod sum admiratus, cum longe sim corpore vastior, fieri potest, quod protensione pedum simus pares, corporis proceritate non item. Velim itaque me ex ea dubitatione Dominatio Vestra Reverendissima explicet.

Cui opto bonam diuturnamque valetudinem, beneficam prolixamque felicitatem.
