Ioannes DANTISCUS do Tiedemann GIESE
Heilsberg (Lidzbark Warmiński), 1539-02-17

Regest polski: Dantyszek sądzi, że przyczyna braku odpowiedzi od rady Torunia leży w tym, że porozumieli się oni z adwersarzami [radą Gdańska], nie chcą jednak, by zostało to ujawnione.
Z podatkiem zamierza postąpić tak samo jak Giese. Inni niech czynią wedle uznania.
Dantyszkowi jest przykro, że nikt z jego współziomków (nemo de nostris) nie ujął się za nim na dworze [w sprawie miejsca zdeponowania pieniędzy z podatku].
Dantyszek nie otrzymał jeszcze nowin o klęsce tureckiej.

Reverendissimo in Christo Patri et Domino, domino Tiedemann Giese (Tidemannus Gisius) (*1480 – †1550), in 1519 ennobled by King Sigismund I; 1504-1538 Canon of Ermland (Warmia); 1516-1527, 1533-1537 Judicial Vicar and Vicar General of Ermland; 1523-1538 Custos of Ermland; 1537-1549 Bishop of Kulm (Chełmno); 1549-1550 Bishop of Ermland (BORAWSKA 1984, passim)⌊Tidemanno Dei gratia episcopo CulmensiTiedemann Giese (Tidemannus Gisius) (*1480 – †1550), in 1519 ennobled by King Sigismund I; 1504-1538 Canon of Ermland (Warmia); 1516-1527, 1533-1537 Judicial Vicar and Vicar General of Ermland; 1523-1538 Custos of Ermland; 1537-1549 Bishop of Kulm (Chełmno); 1549-1550 Bishop of Ermland (BORAWSKA 1984, passim)⌋, fratri et amico carissimo ac honorando

Reverendissime in Christo Pater et Domine, frater et amice carissime et honorande.

Salutem et fraternam commendationem.

Quod Thorn Town Council ⌊ThoronensesThorn Town Council ⌋ non responderint, in causa est, quod cum Gdańsk Town Council ⌊alia parteGdańsk Town Council ⌋ consenserint, in eo quidem notari non velint.[1]

Idipsum cum contributo facturus sum, sicut Dominatio Vestra Reverendissima statuit. Agant alii suo arbitratu. Hoc tamen male me habet, quod in aula nostra credi debet, ex me solo omnia processisse, cum nemo de nostris vel per unum iota testimonium de me dederit. Sed haec, quemadmodum alia eiusmodi, cf. Adagia 283 Susque deque ⌊susque deque feram etc.cf. Adagia 283 Susque deque ⌋

De clade Turcica nihil accepi, paulo post forsan accepturus.[2] Apud me in praesens novi nihil est scientia Dominationis Vestrae Reverendissimae dignum.

Quae diutissime feliciter valeat.
