Book excerpt: The book offers a balanced and realistic account of the coexistence of different peoples and cultures in Ottoman Hungary. It refrains from either repeating the commonplaces of the sixteenth-century antiturcica literature, or sharing the overtly positive Ottoman-image of the early modern age.0The studies of this multidisciplinary book deal with three groups of topics: the historical, literary and art historical approaches combine their methodological merits to paint a colourful picture of Hungary facing or under Ottoman rule. 0A case study discusses the decay of medieval art heritage, underlining the shared responsibility of the conquerors and the local community.
