Five hundred years ago, the first Polish diplomat was sent by the King of Poland Sigismund I to the Court of King Henry VIII. Who was this man and what was the purpose of this diplomatic mission?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Polish Envoy in England \u2013 Five Hundredth Anniversary of Ioannes Danticus\u2019s Visit to \u2018a very dear Island\u2019<\/strong><\/em>, a project of the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in London together with The Warburg Institute, aims to address these questions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By convening a distinguished group of scholars, this project hopes to bring to the wider public the story of the Renaissance scholar, humanist and diplomat Ioannes Dantiscus (1485 \u2013 1548) to mark the five hundredth anniversary of Dantiscus\u2019s diplomatic mission to England and to discuss the wider value and importance of diplomacy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project will run from 16 to 30 November and features a social media campaign, a publication and a panel discussion on Ioannes Dantiscus and his trip to England. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will be launched on 16 November, Poland\u2019s Foreign Service Day, as a tribute to the invaluable work of diplomats.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The Panel Discussion (29 November 17.30-19.00, in person & online)\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A distinguished diplomat at the Polish court, bishop of Che\u0142mno and of Warmia, Ioannes Dantiscus (1485-1548) was an acclaimed author of Neo-Latin poetic compositions who maintained contact with numerous prominent personalities of his times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He corresponded, among many others, with the \u2018Prince of the Humanists\u2019, Desiderius Erasmus, the Spanish conquistador Hern\u00e1n Cort\u00e9s, the Praeceptor\u00a0 Germaniae Philip Melanchthon, and Nicolaus Copernicus, who formulated the heliocentric model of the Solar System. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dantiscus\u2019s correspondence, of which more than 6,100 letters are extant, alongside his other texts, has been researched and systematically published online as part of the project titled\u00a0Corpus of Ioannes Dantiscus\u2019 Texts and Correspondence<\/em>, carried out at the University of Warsaw over the past thirty years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This panel aims to present the structure of this digital repository and discuss the possibilities of how to explore this valuable resource.\u00a0
