Early Modern Diplomacy<p>According to Lobenwein &amp; Rous, two forms of espionage can be distinguished, espionage in the true sense, which aims to obtain secret information of others, and counter-intelligence, which seeks to ward off such attacks on one's own information security. Around 1650, one can see a turning point towards a greater professionalisation of espionage. </p><p>Interestingly enough, research is presuming a caesura in the development of early modern diplomacy at about the same time, without the two having been discussed together so far.

Early Modern Diplomacy<p>Lobenwein and Rous emphasise that, when studying diplomatic practice and the transfer of information, the interplay between orality, writing and other media is crucial; this also applies when dealing with the practices of espionage. Information that was supposed to remain secure was mainly transmitted orally.

Early Modern Diplomacy<p>The accquistion of information was the most important function of early modern diplomats which was facilitaded through the establishment of permanent embassies from the 15th century onwards and discussed in numerous contemporary handbooks and treatises on early modern diplomacy. The boundaries between overt and covert, legal and illegal information gathering were fluid. This ambiguity finds expression in the term honourable espion which was coined by Pierre Ayrault.
