Letter #3905

Ioannes [DANTISCUS] to [Georg DONNER]
Heilsberg (Lidzbark), 1543-11-05

English register:

The previous day he wrote what the addressee ought to know. He now sends, through the starost of Braunsberg (Braniewo) [Georg von Preucken] the news he had received from the royal court the day before yesterday. He asks the addressee to share it with the members of the chapter and with the custos [Johann Tymmermann]. He expects they will receive it with satisfaction.

If the custos or the addressee should have any such news, Dantiscus will gladly receive it.

The canons have surely already received the news that Jan Benedyktowicz [Solfa] is now “back among the living”.

Ioannes

Venerabilis etc.,

Superiori die ea, quae Fraternitatem Vestram scire oportuit, scripsimus. In praesens per capitaneum nostrum Braunsbergensem nova, quae ex aula regia nudiustertius accepimus, quemadmodum ad serenissimam maiestatem regiam perscripta sunt, mittimus. Ea amicis nostris fratribus et imprimis venerabili domino custodi impartiet. Quae non ingrata fore putamus.

Si quid habuerit Fraternitas Vestra vel ipse dominus custos eiusmodi, vicissim gratiam nobis referri eandemque Fraternitatem Vestram feliciter valere optamus.

Dominum doctorem Iohannem Benedicti restitutum vivis iam pridem innotuisse apud vos non ambigimus.

Datae ex arce nostra Heilsberg, V Novembris MDXLIII.
