Letter #3920

[Ioannes DANTISCUS] to Tiedemann GIESE
Heilsberg (Lidzbark), 1545-06-29

English register:

Dantiscus had a conversation with the judge of Kulm (Chełmno) [Jerzy Plemięcki], who came to him with Łukasz Głuchowski, the bearer of the addressee’s letter. Plemięcki appears to be seeking the addressee’s goodwill. When Dantiscus presented him with a declaration concerning the granting [to his son Bartłomiej] of the first vacant [canonry], he stated that he would accept Giese’s proposal provided he had his son’s authorisation in the matter. He promised to write to him again on this matter and to inform Giese of the reply. He asked Dantiscus to intercede on his behalf with him, should he have caused him any offence.

Reverendissimo Domino Culmensi

Reverendissime etc.

Cum domino iudice Culmensi, qui cum domino Luca Gluchovski huc ad me divertit, a quo Dominationis Vestrae Reverendissimae accepi litteras, non pauca contuli. Qui cupide videtur Dominationis Vestrae Reverendissimae favorem quaerere et benevolentiam. Is, cum illi statum causae cum oblatione Dominationis Vestrae Reverendissimae ad primam vacantiam declarassem, magnas habuit gratias et se obsecuturum recepit, modo a filio ea in re haberet facultatem. Cui ob id iterum se scripturum pollicitus est. Quodcumque respondebit, Dominationem Vestram Reverendissimam non celabit. Priusquam eam facultatem nactus fuerit, se in hoc negotio nihil solidi ad compositionem cum Dominatione Vestra Reverendissima transigere posse asserit sicque se in omnibus gerere statuit, ut uberiorem gratiam Dominationis Vestrae Reverendissimae assequatur. Quae si qua in parte sit offensa, a me oravit, ut illam mea commendatione apud Dominationem Vestram Reverendissimam resarciam. Eum itaque una mecum commendatissimum esse Dominationi Vestrae Reverendissimae plurimum cupio.

Cui omnia precor faustissima.
