124 Piotr Tomicki to István Brodarics and Antonio Rincon [Cracow], [after 9 August 1529]1 Manuscript used: BN T. 24. fol. 4r-v.2 Published: Acta Tomiciana X. 390-391. /. He is pleased to learn from the letter of Brodarics and Rincon that things are going well for King John: he hopes that the trend will remain for the good of the King and all of Christianity. - 2. Those on Ferdinand's side do not believe the Turks will came; according to a letter from Buda from merchant Karol, they have absolutely no information on it there. Congratulates Sínpályái for succeeding in capturing his old enemy Péter Percnyi. Spectabilis ac Magnifice Reverendissimeque in Christo Pater, Domini et Amici Honorandissimi. [1.] Magnam mihi attulerunt voluptatem et gaudium litterae Dominationum Vestrarum, quas ad me cum exemplo litterarum serenissimi regis sui miserunt.3 Cognovi 5 enim ex illis maiestatem suam secunda fortuna in omnibus rebus uti, quam ego, ut antea semper maiestati suae ex animo cupiebam, ita nunc propitiam et prosperam factam, sincerius, quam possum, faveo dominumque Deum oro, ut maiestas sua in dies magis ac magis spe bona et victoriis illustribus cumuletur, quae et maiestatem suam auctoritate et splendore et rem communem Christianam commodo et dignitate vel io augere vel sublevare possint. [2.] Verum illud, quod dc Tureorum adventu erat illic adseriptum, Ferdinandici non credunt. Hodie enim Buda a Carolo, mercatore Cracoviensi ad dominum castellanum Cracoviensem4 sunt allatae litterae,5 quibus scribit illic de Tureis, quod veniant, nihil afferri. Quod utcumque sit, ego certe multum gratulor maiestati suae, quod 15 Petrum Perenni, perennem inimicum suum ceperit,6 quodque reliquis belli successibus 13 post scribit dei. istic 1 The letter has been mistakenly included in the volume of Acta Tomiciana X which contains letters from 1528. Whereas events referred to in the letter show unquestionably that it should be dated after 9 August 1529. Tomicki already knows about the capturing of Péter Perényi and refers to a letter sent by Karol Koczer from Buda that Chancellor Szydlowiecki received on 9 August 1529. 2 Further manuscripts: BJ 6551 fol. 500-501; BK 220 fol. 269v-270r; BK 226 fol. 406-407; BCzart TN 42. fol. 651-652. •’ These letters we do not have. Perhaps they are the replicas of the one by Szapolyai on 28 July and the one by Brodarics and Rincon the replica of which Szydlowiecki forwards to Prussian Duke Albrecht on 9 August 1529. Compare: AT XI. 237. Unfortunately, these attachments did not survive. 4 Krzysztof Szydlowiecki. 5 Karol Koczer of Cracow, a customs officer of Ferdinand in Buda. Szydlowiecki sent a copy of his letter to Duke of Prussia Albrecht on 9 August 1529. Compare: AT XI. 237. 6 It was János Szerecsen who captured Péter Perényi in July 1529. On this, see Szapolyai’s letter addressed to Brodarics and Rincon on 28 July. 249
