Letter #3114
[Ioannes DANTISCUS] to Stanisław HOZJUSZ (HOSIUS)Heilsberg (Lidzbark), 1547-06-11
English register:
The bearer of the present letter, Achatius Grabow, has come to Dantiscus asking him to renew his recommendation of his case, in which Dantiscus had already appealed to the addressee for support in the previous year. At that time the king [Sigismund I Jagiellon] issued no ruling, but referred the matter to the court and city council of Gdańsk (Danzig), so that Grabow might present before them any materials collected from the proceedings. Since he obtained a ruling from the court but not from the council, which delayed its decision, he has now gone once more to the royal court to obtain a definitive verdict from the king.
Grabow has asked Dantiscus for his intercession with the addressee and the Bishop of Cracow (Kraków) [Samuel Maciejowski]. With their assistance, he might either be relieved of the legal proceedings or reach an agreement with the opposing party, namely the abbot [Jodocus Kron] and the monastery of Pelplin. Dantiscus accedes to his request.

Scio Dominationem Vestram naturali affectu libenter miseris subvenire et aff superinscribed⌈ et aff et aff superinscribed⌉ et afflictis hominibus subvenire, ob idque confidenter saepius talium causas illi superinscribed⌈illiilli superinscribed⌉ commendare soleo, qui etiam semper a me ad Dominationem Vestram commendaticias petunt. Hac fiducia fretus, ad me praesentium lator A providus Achatius Grabow venit, quem cum causa sua superiori anno Dominationi Vestrae commendaveram. Quo tempore nihil in ea per s(erenissimam) or s(acram)⌈s(erenissimam)s(erenissimam) or s(acram)⌉ maiestatem regiam pronuntiatum fuit, sed ea integra ad iudicium et magistratum Gedanensem, ut ibi dictus Achatius capita et puncta quaedam interrogationum superinscribed⌈interrogationuminterrogationum superinscribed⌉ proponeret me, remittebatur. Hoc cum iam ab eo factum sit et solutiones earum a iudicio obtinuerit, a magistratu vero non, qui eum in p ea re non parum ret remorarunt ne citius ad aulam proficisceretur, denuo ad aulam proficisci cogitur, ut ibi sententiam ms. diffinitivam reg. definitivam⌈diffinitivamms. diffinitivam reg. definitivam⌉ (quod futurum sperat) s(erenissimae) or s(acrae)⌈s(erenissimae)s(erenissimae) or s(acrae)⌉ maiestatis regiae super tota causa audiat.
Quare plurimum me rogavit, ut eum Dominationi Vestrae commendarem, quo illa una cum reverendissimo domino Cracoviensi illi patrocinaretur et id efficeret, ut tandem ab iis litibus superinscribed in place of crossed-out ea causa⌈ea causa iis litibus iis litibus superinscribed in place of crossed-out ea causa⌉ absolveretur; vel, si commode hoc per Dominationem Vestram fieri posset, adversa pars, abbas et conventus written over m⌈mss written over m⌉ Polplinensis, cum eo amice transigerent et causam inter se componerent. In eo, ut Dominatio Vestra suam operam interponat Dominatio Vestra on the margin⌈Dominatio VestraDominatio Vestra on the margin⌉, rogo.
Quam felicissime valere opto.
