Book Description:

This carefully-researched book provides the first synthetic and contextualized study of German Orientalistik. The book suggests that we must take seriously German orientalism's origins in Renaissance philology and early modern biblical exegesis, and appreciate its modern development in the context of modern debates about religion and the Bible, classical schools and Germanic origins.
