Abstract
The Polish-Ottoman confrontation that took place in 1621 at the walls of the fortress in Khotyn, which is considered by some historians as an episode of the Thirty Years’ War, led to an understandable interest throughout Europe, including Rome. Papal diplomats staying in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth closely followed reports from the south of the country and then reported the course of the conflict to the Roman dicasteries. For the purposes of this publication, it has been possible to select reports by papal diplomats, previously unused in historiography, which contain references to the Battle of Khotyn. The aim of this publication is to analyse the aforementioned correspondence, verify the information it contains, and, in the longer term, introduce previously unknown manuscript material into research on both war and miliary history.
