Rests on: the key decode `decoded.txt` (sections R9322_p1, R9322_p2; key from the contemporary glosses,
`key_from_glosses.tsv`), word-divided there. Written out for the v3 verification (23 Oct 2026) as a reading: the
decode's own letters are kept where they make the word (writer's spellings such as dominacio, gracia, aparatu,
refferenda stay); where a sign gives a letter the word does not have (an encipherer's or transcription slip), the word
is marked [?word] or the letter x[y]z; '?' signs (doubtful in the transcription) are [?] or part-word holes; [D], [F],
[X] are name signs without a value; runs that make no word are [...]. f. 121 is Hieronymus Łaski's letter (with a copy
of his letter to Count Palatine Frederick); f. 122 is King John's letter for Lazarus the Jew.

# R9322 (BayHStA KAA 4591 ff. 121-122), Buda, 24 Nov 1529: English translation

Translation (Claude Opus 5.5, 23 Oct 2026) of `sysB/R9322_reading.md`. Same holes: `[?word]` an emended or doubtful
word (translated as `[?word]`), `[?]` a doubtful sign, `[...]` a run that makes no word, `x[y]z` a supplied letter.
`[D]`, `[F]`, `[X]` are name signs without a value; by context [D] and [F] are King John Zápolya, [X] Ferdinand.
f. 121 is Hieronymus Łaski's letter (with the note that it is a copy of his letter to Count Palatine Frederick);
f. 122 is King John's letter for Lazarus the Jew, whose date and signature lines do not resolve. Latin.

## Translation

It cannot be said, most illustrious prince and my most respected lord, how welcome to [D] were the counsels of Your
Most Illustrious Lordship, for which [F] gives Your Most Illustrious Lordship great thanks; and in all things His
Majesty has followed the counsels of Your Lordship, for His Majesty has written to Duke [?Frederick], captain of the
Roman Empire, [?all] that Your Lordship [?advised]. And let Your Most Illustrious Lordship know tha[t] [F] is inclined
and ready for all things whatsoever [?may] regard the [h]onour, dignity and advantage of Your Lordship, and counts you
among his first and dearest friends.

This is the news: the Emperor of the Turks, having done the ninth service [X], not so much because of the winter,
although this too somewhat harmed our affairs, but more because of the plague, which raged wonderfully in the
Emperor's army, the Emperor was forced to return to his dominions; where, in this [?his] return, he left to the Royal
Majesty the kingdom of H[u]ngary with all that belongs to it; he left fifty guns and one thousand hundredweight of
powder; besides, he has ordered as many troops as will be necessary, for since we can have troops from nowhere else,
we must use those we can, especially as we [?have] the Emperor himself so favourable to us, who wishes to hold [D] in
no other place than in the place of his brother, which he has now sufficiently declared in giving this kingdom to His
Majesty without any tribute, without any conditions. And now, indeed, all this time the Emperor was waiting for [?],
who challenged the Emperor to battle, promising that he would come to meet him; but unless in the meantime there is
concord between [D] and [X], he said that he would come next summer, but somewhat earlier and with far other
preparation, to attack the dominions of [X], than he had come to preserve [them], to join hands with him; whereupon,
just as Your Most Illustrious Lordship has now suffered nothing [...] in us his, so neither in fu[?]ture will you have
anything to fear, nor anyone else, provided they have not given help to [X]. Of me, indeed, let Your Most Illustrious
Lordship be persuaded that I am and wish to be your [?new] servant, Your Most Illustri[?]ous Lordship's, to whom I
commend myself most diligently and from the heart. Buda, the twenty-fourth of November in the year one thousand five
hundred and twenty-nine. This is the copy of the letter to the most illustrious lord Frederick, captain of the Empire.
Your Most Illustrious Lord[?]ship's [?servant] Hieronymus de Lasco wrote.

[?John], by the [?grace] [?of God] [?King] of Hungary, etc. To the most illustrious prince, lord Louis, Duke [?of
Bavaria], [our] brother and dearest friend. Most illustrious prince, [?our] dearest brother and friend, [...]
[?conversation] with the [?]bearer of these presents, Lazarus the Jew, messenger to Your Lordship, to whom we have
ourselves entrusted some things to be reported to Your Lordship in our name; [?therefore] we ask that you be pleased
to [?give] him all credence when he speaks in our name, and whatever you [?learn] there to pertain to [?our] affair,
that you be pleased to make it known [?to us] through the same messenger as soon[?] as possible, out of your love for
us; and we, for what you do, [...]. Given [?at Buda], [?the day after] [...] [?in the year] [?one thousand] five
hundred and twenty-nine. [...] wrote.

Lines 15-29 and P1 (f. 264v, 7 lines, image P1 rotated 180) were read sign by sign on native-resolution crops with the System B key as it stands in this letter (R9417_signs_b20.txt): ⊙ a, ○ m, plain x r, starred ⋇ e (the exchange already seen in R9403), ‡ b, ≐ f, ɦ x, both F-hook forms n.

## Translation

Dearest Herr Waisenfelder, I have your letter dated the twelfth of this month, in which (he) wished to [?excuse] his most illustrious princes and himself for neglect in the matter of the army that besieged [?King] [King John] at Buda; in which he also urges that concord cannot be brought about more conveniently than through certain princes of the Empire, to whom your lords too should be joined. On this matter I have already written to [King John]; but because Lord Nicolaus Min[?k]uics is now being sent to the King of France and to others, it was necessary to send the bearer of the present letter, [?a Jew], to [?you].

First, [King John] wishes [...] the princes to be content to stay at peace when the Duke [?of Württemberg] [?strives] to recover his dominion, and he asks this earnestly.

The Emperor of the Turks has been persuaded, by my great labours, to a truce of a year; he is ready [sic: "paratur"] to take into his friendship and alliance all whom [King John] names and commends to him; and unless there is concord this year, he will come out next summer with unspeakable power by land and sea, which [...] I will write at another time. Yet your princes need not fear, for we will take care in time.

It would be most necessary that you be appointed to the fourth day of July at Coburg in Saxony, for Min[?k]uics will certainly be there. That he could not meet you earlier as he had written was not his fault: the roads were so beset that he could in no way get through. But it is necessary that he go.

About the King of Poland's daughter, I wonder that nothing is being done, since the King of Poland had already declared he would give her, and I suspect some ill will, because this business begins so coldly. So [...] it must be: let something be done quickly, for [owl] too is now soliciting, through Sigismund Herberstein, who is here, that she be given to Frederick the Count Palatine. So quick action is needed, lest another snatch away the best and richest prize, etc.

Your princes, together with others, ought to send to Charles [?the Emperor] so that he holds back his brother from attacking [King John], because the King of Poland, the King of France and the other Christian princes will send. Finally, I wish to be most warmly commended to your princes, to whom I offer myself and all I have, etc. Kraków, the sixteenth day of June. Łask[i]. Written in his own hand.

## Translation

Dearest Lord Secretary, know that [FLW] loves the Duke of Bavaria most sincerely and is willing to do everything for them; but I greatly desire concord between [King John] and [Ferdinand], for it is certain that if there is no concord Bohemia will perish, which the Turks will consume as they will Austria. The lands of the other princes, however, [?fear] nothing, because I have made such a pact with the Turk, unless perhaps the estates of the Empire alone want the Turk's hostility by giving aid to Ferdinand against [FLW]. So let your princes and the whole Empire take care not to stir up the Turks against themselves; nor are the Turks [?to be despised], for few know their power and their cunning. I would most gladly have sent horses to the Turkish prince, [?common] to us, but [...] would not take them. May your lordship commend me to his princes, for I am assuredly their servant.

## Translation

Noble and excellent lord, dearest friend, greeting and my commendation. On the fifteenth of this month Ruffus brought
me his letters; how welcome they were first to [DAG = King John], and then therefore all that they contained in his
letters was understood, and abundantly. Whereas Your Lordship promises me the favour of your princes and declares the
goodwill of Their Most Illustrious Lordships towards me, it cheers and gladdens me with great joy, as one who from my
earliest age has always wished and sought nothing more than to win for myself the grace and favour of princes and
great men; and that very thing I shall do with all zeal, now and always hereafter, and I shall serve the most
illustrious princes of Your Lordship with my person and all my means.

For the rest, where the most illustrious princes desire to understand what the Turk has in mind and whither he intends
to move with his army, Their Most Illustrious Lordships can easily understand this, since this winter the Turk gave
King Ferdinand's envoys this answer: "Item, say to your lord that he will never obtain our friendship, never peace
[peace] or truce, unless he gives up the kingdom of Hungary to our friend the most serene King John; and if he does not
do that, I shall come to seek him out, and I shall not trouble to storm cities, for God has given us very great and
very ample cities in our empires, following to make imperial and military battle and to destroy his provinces." From
this the most illustrious princes can judge that the Turk will by no means give up this expedition if there is no
concord.

But now with him warlike preparation is being made with unspeakable fury: ships without number, guns, grain and
victuals are being gathered and carried to the Danube, and a levy of soldiers is being made.

That this diet of Speyer is to be so short I much regret; yet as soon as, after this most severe illness of mine, I
have some strength again, I shall hasten to the diet itself by post. [?]orator to His Imperial Majesty and the
estates of the Empire; wherefore my [?]… asks the most illustrious princes, together with their other friends, to
prevent anything being decreed against him until I come. For [DAG = the King] has in the whole Empire, among all the
princes, none in whom he trusts more, and whom he is more eager and desirous to gratify in very deed, than the princes
of Your Lordship; which is undoubtedly so, and for which I shall be surety.

Of the marriage I do not know what to write; yet within ten days I shall be settled with the most serene King of
Poland, and whatever I achieve I shall declare at Speyer. For among the Poles, as among the French, there is provision
by law concerning the dowering of kings' daughters. Of these and other matters we shall treat more fully when we are at
Speyer. Meanwhile I commend myself heartily to the most illustrious princes, whose servant I am and shall be; may Your
Lordship too hold me commended. Given the seventeenth of September in the year [fifteen hundred and] thirty-one,
Łaski. He wrote.

I ask most earnestly that Your Lordship may in some way present these letters of [DAG = the King] to the estates of
the Empire.
