Rezensionen

"Charlotte Colding Smith has highlighted the particular views and depictions of the Ottoman Turk present in German material of the sixteenth century. Thus, by localizing her study, isolating a wide range of German-language texts and the images that accompanied them, and subjecting them to close analysis, she has made a thought-provoking and worthwhile contribution to an ever-expanding historiography."
