This paper deals with the impact of Christian-Muslim conflicts on early modern illuminated music manuscripts, in which Turkish motifs, symbols and characters occur in selected Old and New Testament subjects (the Žlutice Gradual, Louny Gradual, the Magdalena of the Golden Star Gradual, and the Sixt of Ottersdorf Gradual). The illumination in the Rakovník Gradual is a unique depiction of historical events from the Turkish wars.
