<em>Unholy alliance: Valois and Ottomans</em>.

- Abstract
The article focuses on the book "Unholy Alliance: Valois and Ottomans." Cultural interchange between West and East, in areas as architecture and the luxury industries, presumably helped to lessen cultural incomprehension, but Renaissance satirists and polemicists often had an interest in maintaining the later. The reaction of Renaissance France to the Turks is intriguing. There was a stronger tradition of public hostility to Islam in France than anywhere else, and the impact of the alliance between the Valois princes and the Ottoman sultans was correspondingly greater.
