Mavro Vetranovic of Dubrovnik (Ragusa) reflects the political tensions and realities of his Croatian
city-state in the Renaissance poetry he wrote in the early 16th century. As a Benedictine monk
Vetranovic yearned for the divine deliverance of his native land, but he endorsed the political solutions
i
and foreign policy of the Ragusan state, which exercised discretion in relations with the Christian West
and the Moslem East.
ii
The Kingdom of Granada, the last Moslem state in Spain, collapsed in 1492. The Spanish crown
intended a peace generous to the Moslem inhabitants of Granada, but the religious fanaticism of
Cisneros, the ambition of many, and fear for the security of the Granada coast combined to produce
harsh treatment of the Moslem population. Mass conversions, prohibitions from inhabiting the seacoast
zone, and severe restrictions on fishermen of Moslem background must be understood in the context of
an abiding Christian fear of attacks and invasion from Moslem North Africa which, aided by cultural
and religious kinsmen of Granada, might restore Moslem power in Spain. Christian repression,
however, brought on the feared insurrections.
iii
The thousands of Christian slaves in Algiers played a significant role in the local economy and,
contrary to contemporary European views, were treated better than Moslem slaves in European hands.
iv
Martin Luther's attitude toward war changed drastically over his lifespan from pacifism to militancy.
But this militancy was conditional, and in the question of the crusade against the menacing Turk
preached by Rome, Luther was more influenced by his antipapal feelings than by his desire to protect
Christendom. He therefore was constantly suspicious and hostile toward the papal campaign to repel
the Turks from Europe, seeing in it a pretense for reasserting the papal leadership in the political and
moral spheres. In addition, Luther and his followers shared a certain resignation toward the danger of
the Ottoman Empire as a scourge sent by God against a sinful world. This eschatological view
accentuated the contradictory nature of Luther's attitudes toward the Turkish question.
The German mentality of the 16th and 17th centuries was imbued with a terror of the Turks. Two
who were in great measure responsible for this obsession were Johannes Adelphus Muling (d. 1522),
Strasbourg humanist, and Abraham a Sancta Clara (1644-1709), an Augustinian preacher. The former
wrote Die Türkisch Chronica, a history of the Turks designed to direct German hatred at Turkish
cruelty, while the latter delivered 11 sermons against the Turks in which he accused them of every
known vice and described them as the scourge of God sent against Europeans as a punishment for their
sins. Both authors contributed to the development of German nationalism and racism.
v
Part I. Analyzes Martin Luther's theological and political perception of the Moslem Turks, 1518-46.
In Luther's view the Turks were the rod of God used to punish sinful Christians, but they were also the
servants of the devil who threaten the Christian world. They were to be opposed by lawful authorities
with the support of the entire Christian population. Ultimately, however, it was not military force that
would overcome the Turks, but God's intervention and the Christian's struggle with the devil, the lord
of the Turks. Eventually, the violent Turks would be defeated by temporal and divine powers. Based
on Luther's writings and secondary sources: Part II. Critical and biased against Islam, Luther saw the
Turks as devil incarnate, commanded by law to kill and rob, and a threat to physical well-being and the
Christian faith. In his view they replaced the Gospel with the Koran, and elevated Muhammad himself
above Christ. Their institutions were as evil as their faith, dishonoring marriage and destroying secular
government. The duty of Christians was not only to oppose Catholicism which sought to destroy the
soul, but Islam as well which sought to destroy the body and the faith.
vii
Explores the continuing medieval image of Moslems in religious literature during 1563-1640. The
medieval Christian view that Moslems were "bloodthirsty, salacious heretics" was not changed by
vi
Protestants except that they began to use Islam as a model of heresy to which they compared
Catholicism. This view of the Moslems was not changed until scholars developed an interest in Arabic.
The first man who began to revise the traditional view was William Bedwell (1562-1632)
The Netherlands knew about the Ottoman Turks through news reports, travel accounts, and
geographical descriptions. In general, the Dutch shared the feeling of many in Europe and considered
the Turk the archenemy of Christianity and a cruel and ferocious warrior. However, there was also a
feeling that the Turk was better than the Catholic Church. Many felt that it was better to be "Turkish
than Popish."

Analyzes and categorizes the animal imagery of the period 1550-1650 relating to moriscos, Turks,
and North Africans as opposed to Spanish Christians. The dichotomy between rationality and bestiality
is distinguished from the notion of a hierarchy of animals. Imagery varies according to the genre of
writing. Polemical texts described moriscos as dogs, wolves, foxes, or serpents. Christian moriscos
were seen as docile lambs or industrious bees, whereas non-Christians were represented as breeding
rabbits, swarming ants, or poisonous scorpions. The Turk, as the "great beast," became the dragon of
traditional Christian iconography and hagiology.
During Sir Francis Drake's voyage through the West Indies, 1585-86, he liberated several hundred
European, black, Indian, and Moslem Spanish galley slaves and prisoners. Drake promised to return
the Moslems to Turkey to curry favor for the Levant Company, but his plans for the remaining men
may have included settlement on Roanoke. Events on Roanoke went unrecorded, and it is unknown
whether the blacks and Indians remained or returned to England with Drake. Most of the Turks were
repatriated.

Examines the reasons why the mendicant orders- Franciscans, Dominicans, Augustinians, Carmelites
- failed to train a cadre of indigenous clergy in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial period. The
concept of limpieza de sangre (purity of blood) excluded Jewish and Moslem converts from religious
orders as such converts could not be trusted. Exclusion from mendicant orders in the Philippines may
have stemmed from lack of trust in indigenous acceptance of the Catholic faith, but other factors were
also involved. These included frustration over failure of missionaries in working among indigenous
peoples and competition between orders over a dwindling indigenous population. The cultural gulf
between Spaniard and Filipino was also of significance.
