In The Discovery of Ottoman Greece (Harvard University Press, 2025), Richard Calis offers a richly documented portrait of Martin Crusius, an early modern scholar who never set foot in Greece yet dedicated his life to the study of Greek history, religion, language, and culture. Paul Csillag writes that Calis's book contributes substantially to the methodology of intellectual history, to a broader conception of the Mediterranean, and to a deeper understanding of the philhellenic tradition.
