Iasi, 25th of April, 1590Report of the Jesuit MissionaryJohannes Kunig-Schonovianus,to the Jesuit Order's General,Claudius Aquaviva"After our dispersion (=the expulsion of Jesuits ordered bythe Diet from Medias in 1588), we are four priests and threemonks here, from Transylvania, Udvarhelyi Peter is notordained yet and Grigorie Varschius is sent to Poland becauseof his infirmity."Original version in Latin: MCSMO, I. 108-10932. Alba Iulia, 28th of April, 1595Report of Giovanni de Marini Poli to theRepresentative of the Austrian Emperor'sCourt in Transylvania, Doctor Pezzen"He will tell to the Prince that a more numerous army is
needed. There are 3000 Hungarians in Moldavia, and the samein the Rumanian Countries. But it's needed at least 10,000Hungarians and 10,000 Kazachs per province.If a civil fight erupted one day, it couldn't be stopped byanyone, because these inhabitants (populi) are waiting for anyreason to be provoked and stand against the audacity of theHungarians. As I heard, the Voivod of that Rumanian Country,together with the people are dreaming of a revolt. Thisinformation came to me by a Minorite brother, who learnt aboutit through one of the Rumanian Countries' masters (boier), whofaced the Divan from Bucharest, saying that if the Prince is notgoing to do something against the Hungarians' despotism, intwenty days they will rise and kill all of them.NOTE: The other priests and monks mentioned abowe are: JustusTabb, Valentin Lado, Nicolaus Kurtic and Johannes Kunig-Schonovianus,the one, who wrote the letter: they are all priests. The monk brothersGrigore Vasarhelyi (Varshianus in the letter), Joannes Mediomontanus andPetru Udvarhelyi have been there as well.Original version in Italian: A. Veress, "Documente", and IV. page 206.33. 1596Information about the Rumanian Countries andMoldavia, by Francisco Pastis from CandiaThere are many towns in Moldavia, with many churches,keeping the liturgies in Roman rite and there are many catholics.First of all at Iasi, where the Prince lives, there is a church. Hereare many catholics, and a Jesuit priest is living here. At Cotnarithere are three churches and many catholics, and two Jesuitpriests. There are two churches in Roman. At Bacau there is amonastery, where the Franciscan monks are living, at Neamtare two churches, at Piatra one, at Baia one, in Satul Nou one,in Suceava two, in Hirlau a church, at Birlad one, at Vaslui one,at Galati one and at Trotusi one.My opinion is, that there are more than 30,000 souls in thesetowns.Original version in Italian, published by N.
