Nil Palabiyik: Learning Turkish in Renaissance Europe, 1544–1680, IBZ Munich, 7 May 2019, 7.30 pm

Early modern Europe witnessed a burgeoning interest in the Turkish culture and history, which gave rise to a significant oriental influence in the arts, fashion, literature and music. The popular but fragmented portrayals of the 'image of the Turk' have long been scrutinized. An unexplored area remains the study of Turkish language for scholarly purposes. My talk explores the intriguing relationship between Europe and the Ottoman Empire through the medium of Turkish language aids and reference works, including lexica, grammars and phrasebooks. By tracing the circumstances of their production, their circulation, provenance, previous owners, use and reception, I seek to contribute to a better understanding of history of western knowledge of, and attitudes towards the Ottoman Empire at a formative period in the history of both regions.
