      SUMMARY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      BAM writes three bishops by reason of his office to make them a request. The Polyglot Bible is almost complete. Bam has written the preface, considering appropriate that a group of persons of recognized dignity correct and revise the draft. He asks the bishops to assist in this process of correction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      COMMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This text is actually the draft of three different letters. That is, BAM addresses each of these three prelates separately, although the text is the same in all cases. In May 1570, Cornelius Janseniua held the episcopal dignity in Ghent. The see of Tournai was occupied by Gilbert d\u2019Oignies. As for the Archbishopric of Cambrai, since 22 May 1562, Maximilian de Berghes held that dignity. Within the bundle where this draft has been preserved, the folio containing it underwent a change in orientation before being numbered; thus, for its correct reading and interpretation, one must start with folio 197v and continue on folio 197r.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This letter was written after 6 May because that is the date of the previous letter preserved in the Stockholm Manuscript. The letter was written before 13 May, as that is the date of the reply from one of the recipients of this letter (Cornelius Jansenius).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
