Abstract

The Portuguese voyages and experiences did not go unnoticed in 15th and16th century Europe, namely in the Holy Roman-Germanic Empire. Thenarratives about the initiatives and endeavours of the Portuguese Crown innew worlds aroused curiosity and interest, giving rise to new fictional and‘possibly true’ narratives. In the wake of the fictious traveller and emissaryRafael Hitlodaeus in Thomas Morus’ Utopia, also German scholars willforge new stories and characters. With particular attention to a novel by JörgWickram, the article discusses the early modern appearance of merchants inart and literature in the context of how Portugal was seen and represented inlands beyond the Pyrenees.
