Spaces for Diplomacy. Prague, the Court of Emperor Rudolf II (1576-1612) and Diplomats

Original language description

Prague was the permanent residence of the imperial court for most of Rudolf II's reign (1576–1612). The Emperor's personal presence, along with that of his court and the imperial and Czech provincial authorities, prompted the extensive reconstruction of Prague Castle and the urban agglomeration below it. Prague's transformation into a European centre of power attracted not only aristocrats, skilled craftsmen and merchants, but also many others. The imperial court also attracted a wide variety of diplomatic actors. These included ambassadors who permanently represented leading European rulers. Large or small foreign delegations that came to the Emperor with specific temporary tasks, and numerous agents and secretaries who represented small states or the interests of various individuals. Their activities, which we know about mainly from collections of diplomatic correspondence, always took place in connection with a specific space. In this context, the term 'space' can be understood in two ways: firstly, as a topographically defined place, and secondly, as a space for action, shaped and influenced by the people who act and communicate within it. The book was prepared by the editors team Jiří Hrbek, Štěpán Vácha, and Tomáš Černušák, who is also an author of the chapter 'Negotiation Spaces of Apostolic Nuncios in Prague at the Turn of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries: A Topographic Reconstruction'.
