In quo cum essemus, ad spatium temporis satis longum illi iustitiam et iura serenissimae reginalis maiestatis ab ovo, ut dicunt, exorsus exposui, et quomodo contra omnem iuris ordinem causa indicta: Serenissima Maiestate Vestra et illius coniuge non requisita neque ad hoc vocata, in continuata possessione fuisset factum sequestrum omni aequitate et sanguinis necessitudine posthabita, quod Maiestas Vestra pro insigni iniuria non abs re aegerrime ferret misissetque mihi hunc dominum doctorem pro collega ad tractanda haec negotia apud maiestatem caesaream, quo res haec curae et cordi esse Maiestati Vestrae Serenissimae liquidius cognosceretur. Unde cum inter omnes alios illius illustritas maiestati caesareae BJ, 6557, f. 115v esset acceptior et in quem plurimum confideret, pro sua fide, qua maiestati caesareae devincitur, velit apud illam dare operam, ut huiusmodi sequestrum deponeretur, et ut serenissima domina regina in integrum restitueretur; ne inde Serenissima Maiestas Vestra, quae nunc magis, quam umquam ante, cum infidelibus occuparetur, graviorem animum conciperet, unde forsan cogeretur pacta et foedera, cum Turcis praesertim, inire, toti rei publicae Christianae plurimum nociva; perpenderetque, cum Turcus a parte nostra esset securus nec a nobis quicquam metueret, quo arma et vires suas foret conversurus? Quod facili posset coniectura consequi, Italia enim et Sicilia citra et ultra pharum illi esset vicina, praecipue his intestinis bellis sic stantibus. Perpenderet etiam, quod Serenissima Maiestas Vestra maiestatem caesaream omni semper amore atque observantia, quod clare in electione est testata, prosequitur, et quod illi inter alios amicos non vulgaris est et esse semper potest, daretque operam, ne istiusmodi amor et observantia per tam insignem iniuriam corrumperetur, immo potius efficeret, ut status iste Barensis serenissimae coniugi Maiestatis Vestrae, quemadmodum omni iure debet, redderetur. Et quod si conficeret, ut status integer cum castris suis restitueretur, pollicebar illi, saltem ob quandam Maiestatis Vestrae Serenissimae erga illum gratitudinem, quingentos ducatos et sobellos a Maiestate Vestra pro regia veste et adhuc in futurum maiorem Maiestatis Vestrae munificentiam cum verbis consuetis.

Haec cum a me longiore sermone cum accurata diligentia audivisset, respondit se prius istius negotii sic ad unguem fundamentum non scivisse, et quod crederet maiestatem caesaream hac de re non bene fuisse informatam, quod in sequestrum huiusmodi consensisset, velletque cum maiestate caesarea et consiliariis desuper colloqui, et speraret, quod illius maiestas omne id factura esset, quo Maiestati Vestrae Serenissimae, quam pro singularissimo fratre haberet, complaceret et morem gereret. Et addidit, quod a Maiestate Vestra Serenissima nihil vult nec habere cupit, quam illius favorem et benivolentiam, et ubi Maiestati Vestrae Serenissimae inservire posset, se semper praesto futurum. Et in fine a me quaesivit, si etiam cum magno cancellario de hoc negotio essem locutus. Et cum rettulissem, quod saepius, respondit „Et ego cum eo colloquar et spero, quod voti compotes redibitis”.

Si res haec reginalis maiestatis ibidem in iudicium venerit, summa omnis in hoc puncto consistet, quemadmodum disputando a magno cancellario iam saepe intellexi, an verbis enuntiativis regis Federici, qui hanc cessionem per ducem Ludovicum factam in privilegio suo testatur, standum sit BJ, 6557, f. 117v nec ne. Erit itaque illic caute agendum, cum omnia illic, ut expertus sum, sint venalia.

Quae sunt ad principale negotium responsa, quod spectat suppetias contra infideles, Maiestas Vestra plane intelliget ex copia legationis meae et responsi. Superiori anno, cum hic idem agerem, remittebatur Maiestas Vestra Serenissima ad summum pontificem, nunc vero ad ipsum Deum, in illo solo spes nostra esse poterit; hic nullam, etiamsi facibus quaereretur, invenio. Invenio hic nudam paupertatem et rerum omnium inopiam.

Soror maiestatis caesareae, quae in Portugaliam mitti debuit, et alia multa negotia, quae ipsum concernunt caesarem, ob istam perpetuam egestatem impediuntur. Tractatur iterum pro pecuniis modis omnibus, et curtae, quas nos conventiones vocamus, in Arragonia et Valentia servari debent. Hinc est, quod in Madrillis non diu stare caesar poterit.

Erat hic bona spes pacis, si frater Nikolaus von Schönberg (*1472 – †1537), dominican, brother of Dietrich von Schönberg; in 1518, as a papal legate, mediated unsuccessfully the conflict between Poland and Teutonic Order; 1520-1536 archbishop of Capua; 1535 elevated to cardinal; 1537 cardinal-priest of S.

Quem fortassis non abs re Galli retinuerunt, sicque istius belli finem nondum video. Fertur XXVII Octobris serenissimus rex Galliae cum omni sua potentia atque ingenti exercitu iam trans Alpes pervenisse usque ad oppidum Astsubandiae, XX forsan miliaria a Mediolano. Et si partes in Italia habuerit, ut hic suspicantur, facile illa potietur. Tamen iste ludus nondum habet finem et cetera.

Est hic quidam homo medii, ut multi autumant, cerebri, Sophi regis Persarum nuntius, qui caesarem et alios Christianos principes ad foedera contra Turcas hortatur; decreveratque caesar unum de suis cum illo ad Sophi remittere, quod illius aegritudo et alia graviora negotia obiter incidentia non admittunt. Et sic adhuc ille hic detinetur.

Summus pontifex in hoc negotio status Barensis duo oratoribus Florentinis misit brevia cum mandatis, ut ipsi fassi sunt, serio eis iniunctis, quod cum diligentia hoc apud maiestatem caesaream sollicitarent. Sed sicut ab illis edoctus sum, coram caesare istius rei nullam fecerunt mentionem asserentes se non habuisse de rebus magis arduis cum caesare colloquendi commoditatem. Unusque eorum nuper coram domino cancellario protestatus est, quod cum illo de ea re contulisset. Id cancellarius, quasi non audisset, transiit. Nos credimus, quod nostra negotia omnibus curae essent BJ, 6557, f. 118r non secus atque nobis, sed interdum res se longe aliter habet.

Est nunc quaedam displicentia inter caesarem et regem Angliae, quod ille non ingressus sit Gallias, ut forsan promisit. Anglici conqueruntur rursus, quod caesar illorum auxilio multa accepit et occupavit, de quibus non aequa datur portio. cf. Hor. Carm. II 16.27-28 Sic nihil ab omni parte beatum est.cf. Hor. Carm.

Creditur a superinscribedaa superinscribed plerisque de nostris, quod in summis hic vivatur deliciis; gaudeo plurimum me testem hic nactum, qui aliquando exponet, quales sint. Videtur mihi multum fortunis meis accessisse, quod illum Deus et Maiestas Vestra Serenissima huc miserit, quo mihi facilius credetur. Aliud est esse oratorem apud Maiestatem Vestram Serenissimam, aliud hic. Apud nos ducuntur, conducuntur, reducuntur, ab omnibus honorantur oratores, et nemo est, qui talis esse non cuperet. Hic est currendum, sollicitandum, exspectandum et ante fores standum, et interdum sine admissione redeundum, praesertim in odiosis, quae mihi fatalia sunt. Sed de his hactenus.

BJ, 6557, f. 113r

Serenissime Rex, antequam has claudam, non abs re censui Maiestatem Vestram Serenissimam, quomodo maiestas caesarea in sua aegritudine habeat, certiorem reddere. Fuit quidam Siculus, qui illius curam susceperat et qui multos eadem aegritudine suis pharmacis liberaverat. Ille admissus maiestatem caesaream quodam oleo in spina dorsi ungere consueverat, unde melius habere coepit, et non tantis horis, ut prius, cruciari. Tamen morbus ille abigi nequit et adhuc statis temporibus maiestas sua eo impetitur; miranturque hic plurimi, quod Siculus iste, ut compertum est, tot curaverit, et maiestatem caesaream sua arte iuvare non potest.

Hoc volumen, quod Maiestati Vestrae Serenissimae descripsi, quaeso maiestati reginali cum primis mittatur, nam illi de rebus istis scripsi in compendio; essetque non incommodum, quod etiam illustri domino Henrico comiti de Nassau et marchioni de Zenete et cetera nomine Maiestatis Vestrae Serenissimae scriberetur, et, si fieri posset, aliquot sobellorum quadragenae bonae mitterentur, quibus ad castrum Barense scalas admoveremus, ut cum tempore intercipi possit.

De relevio a cancellario dominus doctor Bork et ego intelleximus, quod illud maiestas caesarea nulli umquam remiserit, et quod mallet dare ex aliis proventibus triplum, quam id quod iure superioritatis ad eum spectat. Dabimus nihilominus operam et temptabimus ms. tentabimus(!) temptabimustemptabimus ms. tentabimus(!) omnia. Si illud impetrare non poterimus, dilatio solutionis per unum annum, ut spero, nobis non negabitur.

Alia hoc tempore non restant. Deus BJ, 6557, f. 113v Optimus Maximus per sanctissimi patroni nostri sancti Stanislai intercessionem det Maiestati Vestrae Serenissimae prosperam et longaevam valetudinem atque contra atrocissimos nostros hostes suam divinam protectionem et felicitatem.
