🔴 🇫🇷 **Fighting Calvin and Muhammad in Wall Almanacs after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes**

_Combining visual and textual analysis, this article suggests that royal image makers linked Muslims and Protestants to defend the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes and manifest the French king's religious zeal and imperial ambition while distracting from the ahdname (capitulations) granted by the Ottoman sultan that precluded France from joining a Catholic alliance to fight the “Turkish menace.”_
