      [H. Steiner], [Augsburg 1532 - Unbound pamphlet 4to . FIRST EDITION and only of this news report on the defeat of the Turks in the Viennese forests. In August of 1532 the Ottoman invasion of Hungary under Sultan Suleiman I the Magnificent stalls before the town of Günns (Burgenland); the stubborn resistance of a small garrison so delays the Ottoman Turks that the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V can reinforce the Austrian capital of Vienna in person, and autumn approaches. After a battle on the 18th of September the Turks retreat, devastating Carinthia and Croatia. "Verworrener Bericht über die Niederlage und den Tod Kasimbegs im Wiener Wald.
