Copie di lettere, 1672 Dec-1673 Jun.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/702172699

Manuscript volume in several hands, including Gascoigne's, containing drafts and transcripts of diplomatic letters sent by Gascoigne to various members of the English government during his service as Ambassador Extraordinary to the Hapsburg court in Vienna in 1672-73. Gascoigne's mission, ultimately unsuccessful, was to negotiate a marriage between James, Duke of York and the Archduchess of Innsbruck, Claudia Felicitas, and the letters contain detailed reports on the progess of those negotiations, including their rapid failure after the death of the Empress Margarita Teresa in March of 1673. Other topics include the uneasy relations among England, Holland, and the Empire; the first news of the revolt of Imre Thököly in Hungary; and the Russian Czar's mission to raise Europe against the Turks.
