Den Feind beschreiben. “Türkengefahr” und europäisches Wissen über das Osmanische Reich 1450-1600
Höfert, Almut

Almut Höfert’s comprehensive study, based on her dissertation, examines not only what these authors considered worth knowing, but also in what format the information was organized and presented. She assumes that the phenomenon of the Turkish fear, a specific enemy discourse of that time, led to Europeans describing their enemies more closely, engendering a more empirical look at the Ottomans, their government, culture, and religious practices.
