| Summary: | The incursions of the Ottomans into Europe starting in the fourteenth century gave rise to a particular genre of literature known as "antiturcic" (antiturcica), by turns warlike, prophetic, and historical. In this vein, the Dalmatian Marko Marulić of Split (1450-1524) composed a Prayer against the Turks (of uncertain date), the Lament of Jerusalem (ca. 1517), and a letter requesting the help of Pope Adrian VI (1522). Marulić was closely familiar with the Ottoman threat: during his life the Ottomans conquered Constantinople, Jerusalem, Syria, Egypt, Serbia, Bosnia, Herzegovina, and finally Belgrade (in 1521)—a victory which cleared their way into Hungary and Croatia. Out of the passionate study comprising these three Marulian antiturcica emerges a rhetoric demonizing the Ottomans, which not only attests to the violent emotions experienced by their author, but also justifies a merciless war against an enemy portrayed as cruel, insatiable, and invincible. Les incursions des Ottomans en Europe depuis le XIVe siècle ont donné naissance à un genre littéraire particulier appelé littérature antiturque (antiturcica), tour à tour belliciste, prophétique ou historique. Le Dalmate Marko Marulić de Split (1450–1524) composa ainsi une Prière contre les Turcs (date inconnue), une Plainte de la ville de Jérusalem (1517 vraisemblablement), et une lettre demandant l’aide du pape Adrien VI (1522). Il connut de près la menace ottomane : de son vivant, les Ottomans conquirent Constantinople, Jérusalem, la Syrie, l’Égypte, la Serbie, la Bosnie, l’Herzégovine, et enfin Belgrade (1521), victoire qui leur ouvrit les portes de la Hongrie et de la Croatie. De l’étude pathémique de ces trois antiturcica maruliens émerge une rhétorique de diabolisation des Ottomans qui non seulement témoigne des violentes émotions subies par l’auteur, mais qui justifie aussi une guerre sans merci contre cet ennemi qui apparaît cruel, insatiable et invincible. |
