European political power. Polish influence and Polish political and economic interests included eastern and south–eastern lands of Europe. Thus, there was a collision between the expansion of the Polish monarchy and Ottoman Turks. The Polish Royal Archives (now mostly in the Central Archives of Historical Records in Warsaw) kept a lot of documents written in Turkish to Polish kings, that resulted from the Polish–Turkish relations. The author examines one of these records. It is the peace treaty (truce) which was issued by Bayezid II in Constantinople on March 22nd, 1489 and then was sent to the Polish King Casimir the Jagiellonian. The treaty is written in Latin, Italian humanist type (italic), it preserves principles of the latin diplomatics but with some modifications (tughra, the formula of dating). Readers’ attention is drawn by the imperial titulary of Ottoman sultans and their willingness to join the group of European monarchs. In writing Turks were assisted by Italian consultants, humanists Turcophils and Italian employees of the sultanas chancellery. From the early mid–16th century, the sultans’ documents to the Polish kings had been written in Turkish, Arabic script, and Italian or Latin translations were enclosed. In the Appendix the author publishes the text of the Bayezid II Charter of March 22nd, 1489 (in a new transcription).
