     The accquistion of information was the most important function of early modern diplomats which was facilitaded through the establishment of permanent embassies from the 15th century onwards and discussed in numerous contemporary handbooks and treatises on early modern diplomacy. The boundaries between overt and covert, legal and illegal information gathering were fluid. This ambiguity finds expression in the term honourable espion which was coined by Pierre Ayrault. (5/7)

     Rous, who wrote her dissertation on Wettin dynastic marriages, studied early modern secret diplomacy in her habilitation. Currently, she prepares the 5th Saxon State Exhibition which will open in 2029 as curator.

     Sunday evening is often crime time on the telly but early modern diplomacy offers crime and thrillers, too.
     Therefore, we do not want to miss the opportunity to continue our countdown by introducing two more of our handbook authors to you. Please welcome Elisabeth Lobenwein and Anne-Simone Rous! (2/7)
