SALISBURY, MD---Salisbury University’s History Department hosts the lecture “Chivalry and Antemurale Rhetoric as a Response to Ottoman Expansion in Europe” by Dr. Emir Filipovic 5:30 p.m. Thursday, February 25, in a virtual setting.

Filipovic, professor of history at the University of Sarajevo, explores the role of chivalry, frontiers and borders in the history of Ottoman expansion in southeastern Europe. Particular focus is placed on the development of a frontier discourse and identity.

The strategic position of southeastern Europe – located between the civilizational spheres of East and West, Islam and Christianity – is presented as the setting for chivalry and antemurale rhetoric.
