English: Fake letter of an unspecified Ottoman sultan to king John II Casimir Vasa of Poland (1648–1668), published on 24 December 1652 in Ordinaris Dingsdaeghse Courante (ODC), a Dutch newspaper published in Amsterdam. This Dutch 'copy' of this supposed letter claims that the original text was sent to John Casimir in August 1652, but no such letter is known to have ever existed.
Transcript of the Dutch text provided by Delpher.nl: Modern English translation (by User:Nederlandse Leeuw):
Scholars are confident that this letter is a complete fabrication that was made up for the purpose of anti-Ottoman propaganda, of which there are many examples from the 16th to 18th century in Europe in many languages. This genre consisted of forged letters, often in pamphlet form, which were a response to the Ottoman wars in Europe, and they frequently consisted of a threatening letter from an Ottoman (or 'Turkish') sultan to a European Christian monarch (e.g. the Habsburg emperors, the kings of Poland–Lithuania, the tsars of Muscovy/Rus'/Russia, or the various hetmans of the Cossacks). Sometimes, these Christian monarchs allegedly responded dismissively and derisively with a reply (in this case, there is no reply, only a threatening letter from the sultan). Such fake correspondence between an Ottoman sultan and Christian monarchs usually appeared at the start of a new war, using the same design (and often parts of the same text) as previously published letters were adjusted to the new situation (names, dates, geography), with some details changed, and then spread and translated across Europe in many different versions. For example, Daniel Clarke Waugh (2019, p. 170, footnote 12) pointed out that the Kurtzer Bericht 1653 is a closely related German-language text purporting to be a threatening letter of the 'Turkish' sultan to the king of Poland dated to 10 December 1652. (For this text, see Becker-Cantarino, Barbara (2013) Daphnis, Band 41 – 2012, Heft 1: Zeitschrift für Mittlere Deutsche Literatur und Kultur der Frühen Neuzeit (1400-1750), Rodopi, pp. 160 (footnote 97) ISBN: 9789401209779. ).
