The diary entry:
15. Mane discessimus Laviso Tridentum. Episcopus medio itinere ocurrit reginæ egregrio nobilium virorum comitatu. Quæ Tridentum ingressa recte perrexit ad templum cathedrale, ubi solemni cleri processione excepta, sacrum audivit ad altare S:mi crucifixi, ad genustatorium tribus gradibus elevatum; perrexit inde ad ecclesiam S. Mariæ Majoris, ubi synodus habita fuit, et postea ad S. Petrum, ubi asservatur corpus S. Simonis Pulvi. Inde in villa suburbana episcopi pransa fuit. Ego cum legato et episcopo sum pransus nobilissimo apparatu. Sub nocte Culianum pervenimus, episcopo reginam ad tria circiter passum millia comitante. Cum regina Calianum ingrederetur, barones Tropi, loci illius domini, ex castello superiori magno tormentorum strepitu lætitiam testati sunt. Hoc die Laviso ad episcopum Brixinensem, et Tridento ad Rev:dum Berkhoverum suffraganeum ejus, scripsi de simulacro dei Mithræ quod in pago Maulz extat delineando in gratiam Reginæ.
Regina Tridenti plane eodem modo excepta quo regis Hispaniarum soror, imperatrix, et imperatoris filia reginæ Hispaniæ; sub noctem episcopi Tridentini munus egregrium rerum comestibilium mihi oblatum fuit; quod hospiti relinqui.
French translation (my own):
15. Le matin nous sommes partis de Laives pour Trente. L'évêque a rencontré la reine au milieu du voyage, accompagné d'une compagnie distinguée de nobles. Entrée à Trente, elle se rendit directement à la cathédrale, où, accompagnée d'une procession solennelle du clergé, elle entendit le service sacré à l'autel du Très Saint Crucifix, qui était élevé au genustatorium par trois marches; elle se rendit de là à l'église de Sainte Marie Majeure, où se tenait le synode, et ensuite à Saint-Pierre, où le corps de saint Simon est enchâssé. Puis il y eut déjeuner à la maison de campagne de l'évêque. J'ai dîné avec l'ambassadeur et l'évêque de la manière la plus noble.
A la tombée de la nuit, nous arrivâmes à Calliano, l'évêque accompagnant la reine sur environ trois milles. Lorsque la reine entra dans Calliano, les barons de Troppi, les seigneurs de ce lieu, furent témoins de la joie du château supérieur avec un grand bruit de canon. Ce jour-là j'écrivais à Laives à l'évêque de Bressanone, et à Trente au révérend Berkhoff, son suffragant, au sujet de l'image du dieu Mithra, qui se dresse dans le village de Maulz, la dessinant en faveur de la reine.
La reine fut reçue à Trente exactement comme la sœur du roi d'Espagne, l'impératrice, et la fille de l'empereur, la reine d'Espagne; pendant la nuit, l'évêque de Trente m'offrit un don extraordinaire de comestibles, que je laissai aux invités.
Swedish translation (my own):
15. På morgonen åkte vi från Leifers till Trento. Biskopen mötte drottningen mitt under resan, åtföljd av ett förnämt sällskap av adelsmän. Efter att ha kommit in i Trento gick hon direkt till katedralen, där hon, åtföljd av en högtidlig procession av prästerskapet, hörde den heliga gudstjänsten vid det heligaste krucifixets altare, som höjdes till genustatoriet med tre steg; hon gick därifrån till kyrkan Santa Maria Maggiore, där synoden hölls, och därefter till Peterskyrkan, där den helige Simons kropp är inskriven. Sedan var det middag på Biskopens lantställe. Jag åt middag med ambassadören och biskopen på det ädlaste sätt.
På kvällen anlände vi till Calliano, biskopen som följde med drottningen i cirka tre mil. När drottningen gick in i Calliano, bevittnade baronerna av Troppi, herrarna på den platsen, glädjen från det övre slottet med ett stort kanonljud. Den här dagen skrev jag i Leifers till biskopen av Brixen och i Trento till reverenden Berkhoff, hans suffragan, om bilden av guden Mithras, som står i byn Maulz och ritar den till förmån för drottningen.
Drottningen mottogs i Trento på exakt samma sätt som syster till konungen av Spanien, kejsarinnan, och kejsarens dotter, drottningen av Spanien; under natten gav biskopen av Trento mig en extraordinär gåva av matvaror, som jag lämnade till gästerna.
English translation (my own):
15. In the morning we left from Laives for Trento. The Bishop met the Queen in the middle of the journey, accompanied by a distinguished company of noblemen. Having entered Trento, she went straight to the cathedral, where, accompanied by a solemn procession of the clergy, she heard the sacred service at the altar of the Most Holy Crucifix, which was raised to the genustatorium by three steps; she went thence to the church of Santa Maria Maggiore, where the synod was held, and afterwards to Saint Peter's, where the body of Saint Simon is enshrined. Then there was luncheon at the Bishop's country house. I dined with the ambassador and the Bishop in the most noble manner.
At nightfall we arrived at Calliano, the Bishop accompanying the Queen for about three miles. When the Queen entered Calliano, the barons of Troppi, the lords of that place, witnessed the joy from the upper castle with a great noise of cannon. On this day I wrote at Laives to the Bishop of Bressanone, and at Trento to the Reverend Berkhoff, his suffragan, about the image of the god Mithras, which stands in the village of Maulz, drawing it in favour of the Queen.
The Queen was received in Trento in exactly the same way as the sister of the King of Spain, the Empress, and the Emperor's daughter, the Queen of Spain; during the night the Bishop of Trento presented me with an extraordinary gift of comestibles, which I left for the guests.

Notes: Simon of Trento, also known as Simon the Immaculate and Simonino (Little Simon), was a boy who went missing and was found dead in March 1475 at about the age of three. The local Jewish community was wrongly blamed for his death, part of the infamous blood libel conspiracy theory; and suspects were put on trial and executed, while the boy's actual abductor and murderer was never found or identified. Over the next decade the incident resulted in pogroms and eventual expulsion of the Jewish communities of the regions of Veneto, Lombardy and Tyrol; and Simon himself soon became venerated as a martyr and child saint, but he was never canonised by the Roman Catholic Church. Because of the circumstances of his beatification, Simon was removed from the Roman Martyrology in 1965 by the then Pope Paul VI, although his status remains equivalent to beatification.
The Bishop of Bressanone = Anton Crosini von Bonporto.
