The treaty that formally ended the Ottoman–Habsburg wars of 1663–1664, which began over events in Transylvania, was signed according to the TDV encyclopedia on 9 August 1664 in the Ottoman camp near Vasvár by the Habsburg plenipotentiary Simon Reniger and Grand Vizier Köprülüzade Fazıl Ahmed Pasha (it is known in the West as 10 August because of a mistranslation of the date in the Turkish text). The treaty fixed the widest Ottoman borders in Hungary.
