French Encounters With The Ottomans, 1510-1560 (Transculturalisms, 1400-1700)

Focusing on early Renaissance Franco-Ottoman relations, this book fills a gap in studies of Ottoman representations by early modern European powers by addressing the Franco-Ottoman bond. Informed by the scholarship of historians, literary scholars, and art historians, Pascale Barthe calls into question the existence of an Orientalist discourse in the Renaissance, and examines early cross-cultural relations through the lenses of sixteenth-century French literary and cultural production.
