A new and valuable examination of Muscovite history. This book is an analysis of stories of atrocities told in German pamphlets in the 16th and 17th centuries about the wars of the Germans against Ottomans in Hungary and Muscovites in Livonia. It shows how the anti-Muscovite pamphlets that began to appear in the middle of the 16th century in Germany participated in the anti-Turkish discourse of the preceding century.
