PiotrTomicki to István Brodarics Cracow, 3 September 1535

Manuscript used: BN T. 19. fol. 63r‘

1. He received two letters from Brodarics in recent months: in the first Brodarics let him know that the Sultan did not resent the murder of Gritti. in the second Brodarics discussed the expected armistice and said he wanted to ask for something from Tomicki. - 2. Tomicki replied to these also in two letters, but has not received a response ever since; he does not even know whether or not his letters have reached Brodarics. — 3. He is surprised that Brodarics has not written to him even though he would have had the possibility to do so; he asks Brodarics to inform him on the state of affairs concerning peace, and on whether there is hope for the two kings to reach an agreement.

Reverendissime in Christo Pater et Domine Frater et Amice Carissime et Honorande.

[1] Binas accepi superioribus mensibus Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae litteras;1 2 in unis [!] caedem Gritti3 non iniquo animo4 Turearum imperatorem tulisse mihi 5 significaverat, in alteris de spe futurae concordiae nonnulla scripserat, in utrisque nescio quid a me prioribus litteris se postulasse meminit, illae enim redditae mihi non sunt, atque ut id curae mihi sit, rogat. [2] Binis istis litteris binis ipse quoque respondi atque ex Reverendissima Dominatione Vestra certior fieri cupiebam, quid illud esset, quod per me sibi confici vellet, nihil enim me facturum libentius, quam ut explerem io desiderium Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae. Sed ex eo tempore nihil accepi

2 These letters have not been preserved.

3 Gritti was killed on 29 September 1534 in Medgyes.

4 Basically, Gritti served the court in Istanbul, but his major patron, Grand Vizier Ibrahim, fell out of favour in 1534, and Gritti’s position became precarious. Therefore, his murder did not cause as strong indignation as was expected in John’s circles.
