Translation / modern text

Most Illustrious Sirs, the Basilians of St Onuphrius’s monastery are pressing me by letter about repairing the road, that is, the access route to the monastery. I ask you to ensure that the agreed repair is completed before winter. Without it, the monks would have difficulty gaining access and transporting firewood. The final details and signature are uncertain.

Original wording — transcription

Jaśnie Wielmożni Panowie. Oycu Bazyliani od klasztoru świętego Onufrego dokuczają mi listownie o naprawienie drogi, czyli przystępu do tegoż. Łączym WMM Panowie [—] według umowy swojej z [—] superiorem miejsca tamtejszego, ażeby tenże [—] przed zimą był sporządzony. Inaczej gdyby tej drogi [—], wielką by [—] OO. Bazylianie ponosili, nie mając przystępu do dawania sobie drzewa z dyspozycyi, gdy [—] do klasztoru sprowadzenia. Co z usłużnością [—]. [Podpis niepewny; prawdopodobnie osoba związana z klasztorem w Łańcucie.]

Reading notes

The text on leaf 3 is a separate letter; leaf 4 bears the address «To the Noble Magistrate of Lviv» and appears to be an address leaf/wrapper. The letter’s date has not been established.
