Inter spem et desperationem: Diplomatic Emotions of Habsburg Envoys at the Ottoman Court (1553–1557)

This paper will focus on the emotionological analysis of selected Latin diplomatic reports written by Antun Vrančić (1551–1617) and Franciscus Zay (1498–1570), Habsburg envoys who negotiated a peace-treaty with Sultan Süleyman I and his Grand Vizier Rüstem Pasha between 1553 and 1557. Besides narrative representations of various emotional styles and states of diplomatic actors on both sides which range from hope and pride to anger and frustration, due analytical attention will also be paid to manifestations, functions and meanings of simulatio, dissimulatio and amicitia as typical features of early modern diplomatic practice. The paper will in this way provide an outline of a new diplomatic emotionology as a potentially useful heuristic model for the new actor-centred diplomatic history.
