Fr. Olivier von Sayn, head of the house at Arnhem, and others to Master Fr. Helion de Villeneuve: ask to replace Fr. Paolo de Modena as head of the preceptories of Thueringen, Saxony and the Mark [Brandenburg] by Fr. Albrecht von Schwarzburg, recently appointed Prior of Germany and visitator of Bohemia and Denmark. - NLM Arch. 16, no. 15. Original charter on parchment; bullae magistrales; with the spurs of five lost seals. - J. M. van Winter, Sources concerning the Hospitallers of St. John in the Netherlands, 1998, Bulls and Letters, n. 2.

Magno religionis viro domino fratri Eliono de Villa Nova sacre domus hospitalis sancti Johannis Jerosolimitani magistro summo fratres Oliverius de Seina in Arnheim, Gerhardus de Hamerstein in Briseke, frater Eberhardus de Kestenburg in Frankenvort, Johannes de Grunbach de Herbipoli, Rudolfus de Masemunster domorum commendatores.

[... Point out that] frater Albertus de Nigro Castro prior noster et ex parte vestra visitator regionum Bohemie et Dacie [... has deserved very well overseas and ask] quare paterna pensacione non respexeritis, dummodo vobis constiterit, ut preceptoriam Duringie, Saxonie et Marchie, quam frater Paulus de Mutina tenet, eidem domino fratri Alberto non duxeritis committendam, cum infra terminos eiusdem preceptorie idem dominus frater Albertus de clariori sanguine principum, comitum et nobilium traxerit originem, qui hodierno tempore dictas partes dominio regunt et potencia defendunt [... also because this preceptory is in a state of disrepair for lack of direction from the outsider frater Paolo de Modena.]

In cuius rei testimonium sigilla nostra presentibus sunt appensa.

Datum anno Domini Mo CCCo XX III, die Mercurii post Epiphaniam eiusdem.
