Summary/Abstract: The document discusses the appointment of Mikuláš as the bishop of Jáger in 1330. Issued by Pope John XXII, the decree highlights the importance of pastoral care and the need for suitable leaders in the church. Mikuláš, previously a provost in Bratislava, was chosen for his education, moral integrity, and spiritual depth. The document emphasizes the Apostolic See's authority in appointing bishops and the careful consideration given to such decisions. It also mentions the transfer of the previous bishop to the archbishopric of Esztergom and the need to fill the vacancy promptly to avoid prolonged disruption. The decree is preserved in the Vatican's secret archive, with a copy in the Hungarian National Archive.
