28 István Brodarics to Theodor Vafer 1 Rome, 11 February 1524 Manuscript used: MOL, DL 47545 The inheritance of Hungarian confessor in Rome János Lászai, 147 ducats, should be deposited in the Altoviti bank according to the wishes of Philippus de Senis and Vincenzo Baldi. Domine Theoderice.

Ego sum contentus, quod illa pecunia domini Ioannis penitenciarii 2 Hungari, ducati videlicet centum quadraginta septem deponantur in Banco Altoviti 3 iuxta voluntatem Identification is not so simple because Lénárt Barlabási filled the position of Vice-Voivod in Transylvania from as early as 1501 until his death in 1525. However, Szapolyai had two Vice-Voivods after his appointment in 1510. In 1524, the other Vice-Voivod was István Tomori. Compare: Kubinyi András, A Szapolyaiak és familiárisaik (szervitoraik), Publicationes Universitatis Miskolciensis, Sectio Philosophica, Tom. XIII., Fasciculus 3., Miskolc, 2008, 244–246. 11  János Szapolyai, Count of Szepes, Transylvanian Voivod, Hungarian King after the death of Louis. 12  The enclosures mentioned by Louis are unknown. There is no further data on Theodor Vafer, Notary of the Apostolic Chamber. Hungarian confessor in Rome János Lászai died on 17 August 1523. Regarding his death see two letters by Brodarics to Transylvanian Bishop Ferenc Várdai. 13  The banking house operated by Bindo Altoviti of Florence was a leading bank in contemporary Rome.
