Sažetak
After his escape from a ten years’ Ottoman captivity, Georgius Huszthi (? – after 1566), a minor humanist from Slavonia (northern Croatia), wrote a Latin report on his captivity in Turkey and pilgrimages in the Holy Land (mss. 1548-1566). His memoirs, first published in 1881, stayed in the shadow of another South Slavonic Turkish abductee, Bartol Georgijević (c. 1506-1566), who capitalized his cultural knowledge about the Ottoman life in a series of Latin booklets which had a significant reception in contemporary Europe. In this paper I analyze Huszthi’s discursive practice on the Ottoman Other and compare it to Georgijević’s. I am especially interested in the strategies of showing Christian cultural superiority and in textual signs of the author’s emotional ambivalence towards the Muslim life and culture. I shall also discuss the lack of expressions of certain identities in Huszthi’s text (confessional, ethnic), which were often misinterpreted from the 19th century onward.
