Zusammenfassung: It was not just in the major trade centers but also in the expanse of the "Hinterland" that the foreign and the exotic made themselves felt in the age of Enlightenment - be it in the form of missionaries from China, galley slaves from North Africa, or "Turks" from the Ottoman Empire. These essays take a systematic approach to ask how knowledge from the wider world made its way to the villages and supposed peripheries of Europe.
