There were was a certain amount of cultural contact between Europe in the Renaissance to Early Modern period and the Islamic world (at the time primarily represented by the Ottoman Empire and, geographically more remote, Safavid Persia), however decreasing in intensity after medieval cultural contact in the era of the crusades and the Reconquista.European contact with Islam has been mostly limited with the military effort opposing the expansion of the Ottoman Empire.There was limited direct interaction between the two cultures even though there was plenty of trade between Europe and the Middle East at this time.
