This book argues that sixteenth-century European encounters with
the newly discovered Mexicans (in the Aztec Empire) and the newly
dominant Ottoman Empire can only be understood in relation to the
cultural and intellectual changes wrought by the Reformation.
Carina L. Johnson chronicles the resultant creation of cultural
hierarchy. Starting at the beginning of the sixteenth century, when
ideas of European superiority were not fixed, this book traces the
formation of those ideas through proto-ethnographies, news
pamphlets, Habsburg court culture, gifts of treasure, and the
organization of collections.
