A neglected aspect of the Reformation?

When people think of the Reformation, the religious spheres usually consist of Roman Catholicism and Protestantism – for obvious reasons. In terms of politics, they may consider the Elector of Saxony, the Holy Roman Emperor, or Henry VIII. Only marginally – if at all – do they think of Islam. This book, however, shows that Germans during the Reformation period were greatly concerned with Islam and the Ottoman threat.
