In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries conicts dragging on between the
two most powerful empires of early modern age, that is, the Habsburg and the
Ottoman, determined the political development of this region. Nonetheless,
to the “lords and potentates” of this area, not only the issue of the Ottoman
threat and expansion mattered: of great importance were other tensions such
as struggles between central powers and estates or religious conicts. e rulers
always needed the latest news “in peace as well as in wartime”4 on a regular basis
and not only from their home regions but from other parts of Europe and from
the known world. It was crucial to be well informed about the actual events of
the European political scene.
