[1.] XXVIII huius mensis Augusti venit Sanctissimus Dominus Noster 2 ad sanctum Paulum monasterium non longe a moenibus Urbis distans. Sequenti die ingressus Urbem, postea die Dominica 3 fuit coronatus. Adhuc nihil potuit agi de negotiis Maiestatis Vestrae apud Suam Sanctitatem. Credo nos cras aut perendie habituros audientiam publicam, id est consistorialem a Sua Sanctitate. Quamvis iam in audientia [ERROR: no reftable :]8  Jacobus Piso (1480–1527), offspring of a Saxon middle class family from Medgyes, noted Humanist, poet and diplomat, friend and pen friend of Erasmus, member of the circle of László Szalkai who would become Archbishop of Esztergom. One of the tutors of the child King Louis from 1516, Royal Secretary from 1520. We have no other data about a permanent contact with Brodarics, who was roughly of the same age, but perhaps it is not just by accident that he wrote the letter on the coat of arms, which praises literature and science, in such elegant Latin. 1  Fraknói refers to this letter when he states that one of Brodarics’ tasks was to persuade the Pope to intervene so that Pál Tomori accepts arcbishopric of Kalocsa. (Compare: Fraknói Vilmos, Tomori Pál élete, Századok, 1881, 310.) Brodarics might have had such an assignment but it cannot be justified with the text of this letter. 2  Hadrian VI (1522–1523) was elected Pope on 9 January 1522. 3  On 31 August.

privata unacum reverendissimo domino cardinale Medices, 4 deditissimo Vestrae Maiestati, satis multa cum Sua Sanctitate egerimus de mittendo illo nuntio sive legato, quem Vestra Maiestas cupit mitti ad dietam Norembergensem, 5 de quo etiam prius apud sacrum collegium egeramus. 6 Sed cum statim subsecutus fuisset adventus pontificis, omnia ad pontificem reiecta fuerunt. Pontifex dixit se quamprimum expediturum unum virum idoneum, de aliis agetur, ut praemisi, in audientia consistoriali. 7 Et in diligentia nostra nihil penitus deerit.
