The notion of “the Turk” in the eyes of Europe is something which still exists today. This collection of articles hopes to understand the process by which the image of “the Turk” developed in Europe starting in the 15th century and through to the present. This work fits into the greater context of early European-Ottoman relations, as the Turkish empire grew to be the strongest power on the continent while Christendom was split into a multitude of different kingdoms. The notion of “the Turk” had implications in the cultural sphere, not just the political, and Historical Image of the Turk in Europeseeks to address these as well. The authors focus on the Italian, Renaissance and Birtish representations of the Ottoman Turks in addition to European, especially German, views of Turks in the post-Ottoman era.

Mohammed and Islam

By Ignaz Goldziher; Translated by Kate Seelye; Introduction to the 1917 edition by Morris Jastrow; Introduction to the 2009 edition by Douglas Pratt
ISBN: 978-1-60724-410-3
Ignaz Goldziher was a pre-eminent scholar of Islam during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This book encapsulates his own lifetime of work and provides something of an historical commentary on his epoch in the Western academic study of Islam. One of its strengths is that Goldziher’s investigation of historical development probes into underlying religious motivations and allied theological issues. The book quickly became a classic of its day. It remains a classic that, in our day, is well worth re-visiting as it can still inform our understanding of contemporary Islam, whose roots lie in all that Goldziher covers.
