Greetings! First ever post here, so forgive me if I break any rules
I find the Ottoman-Habsburg Wars a fascinating topic, and have read a bit about Austrian history too. However, I've noticed an absence of accounts from the Ottoman Empire's view of Austria, the Habsburg Monarchy and Dynasty as a whole.
Considering that Austria acted as a counter to Ottoman expansion in Europe for centuries, what were the Ottomans' view of Austria as a country, its culture, people and ruling dynasty? Especially at the conflict's beginning, and after the Siege of Vienna of 1683 and Leopold I's subsequent conquest of Hungary (which I once read was the first time the Ottomans had to permanently give up territory)?
Were Austrians seen as unforgivable enemies? Was there surprise at Austria's resilience against Ottoman attacks, or when they started pushing the Ottomans back? Did the Ottomans think they were 'defeated' by the Austrians on the long run?
Every answer is appreciated, just please try not to focus on Karansebes
Welcome!
We do have accounts from this period. I can highly recommend Daniel Goffman's 'The Ottoman empire and early modern Europe'. It answers your question for most Sultans of this period. Going on your description, I think you'll really enjoy it. Also, it has drawings of people with weird hats on. Should you be interested in any more narrow period or any specific Sultan or something, I can hook you up with some more suggestions.
Different Sultans had different ideas about the different compositions of the Habsburg empire in this period. They also went to war several times and I think it's a bit much to answer this question for two centuries of Habsburg rulers and holdings, Ottoman rulers and historical events. Lmk if you have any specific point or points in time you want to know about.
