Rare ‘Turkish Fear’ Pamphlet
The expansion of the Ottoman Empire during the reign of Sultan Selim I (1465-1520) was closely watched throughout Europe. The present work calls for the formation of an army to be sent against the Ottomans (and all others opposed to Christianity). In the first half of the sixteenth century over 900 pamphlets relating to the Ottoman Empire were issued, documenting the widespread fear of Turkish domination. The present call to arms was issued in various cities throughout central Europe including Augsburg, Breslau, and Basel. Two other Nuremberg imprints are known to have been printed in the same year (Georg Stuchs & Friedrich Peypus).
Rare. Only two copies in OCLC.
