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.

Die Reconquista. Christen und Muslime auf der Iberischen Halbinsel 711–1492
Jaspert, Nikolas

In this short book, Nikolas Jaspert attempts to provide an overview of the history of the so-called Reconquista. Contrary to the image of a steady reconquest of Islamic territories, Jaspert aims to stress that this period was in fact characterized by various kinds of cultural exchange. Against this backdrop, he deconstructs the Reconquista as a powerful, but flawed narrative that does not sufficiently take into account the changing courses of the wars on the Iberian Peninsula and which obscures other aspects of the relations between Christians, Muslims and also Jews in this period.
