Abstract The study of early modern diplomatic relations between the Central European Habsburg monarchy and the Ottoman Empire has a robust tradition based on the analysis of a rich body of primary sources preserved mostly in the Haus-, Hof- und Staatsarchiv of the Austrian State Archives. This introduction provides a brief overview of the historiography, the place of the present articles in this tradition, and suggests several directions for future research.
