Although their role is often neglected in standard historical
narratives of the Reformation, the Ottoman Turks were an important
concern of many leading thinkers in early modern Germany, including
Martin Luther. In the minds of many, the Turks formed a fearsome,
crescent-shaped horizon that threatened to break through and
overwhelm. Based on an analysis of more than 300 pamphlets and
other publications across all genres and including both popular and
scholarly writings, this book is the most extensive treatment in
English on views of the Turks and Islam in German-speaking lands
during this period. In addition to providing a summary of what was
believed about Islam and the Turks in early modern Germany, this
book argues that new factors, including increased contact with the
Ottomans as well as the specific theological ideas developed during
the Protestant Reformation, destabilized traditional paradigms
without completely displacing inherited medieval understandings.
This book makes important contributions to understanding the role
of the Turks in the confessional conflicts of the Reformation and
to the broader history of Western views of Islam.
