This print, known as avvisi (circular, announcement), which was intended to diffuse to the urban public various news about the events of the day. Also, such plays had the propagandistic role to support a political point of view of the powerful personalities of the time. Printed in small format and in a small print run, these circulated mainly in the large cities of Transylvania, Hungary, and other important cities of the Habsburg Empire. Can be considered the forerunners of today's newspapers. In this case, the main subject is represented by the battle against the Ottoman Empire, as Vienna became increasingly interested in taking over large territories, such as Transylvania, from the Ottomans. Such pieces, which began to appear at the end of the 15th Century, had a glory period especially in the 16th and 17th centuries. In the beginning, these were handwritten, but soon were replaced by printed versions. Can also be considered as pieces related to the beginnings of printing, which increases their value. This piece has 28 pages, 27 of which are printed double-sided, the last page being unprinted. There is an engraving on the first page made in 1593 and reproduces in 1596. The inside information refers to the battles of Mihai Viteazul against the Ottoman Empire and his approach to the Principality of Transylvania and later to the Habsburg Empire in the context of relations between the Great Powers in this region of Europe. There is no precise information so far about the existence of such copies in public or private collection, except for one copy of a different type found in the National Museum of Romanian History, a copy printed in Nürnberg in 1499.
