Sarah, While I question the "vast" historiography (& why wasn't the 1st faculty member more forthcoming & share some basic citations??), here is a basic place to start: Perhaps that adjective described anti-Ottoman depictions in general & not specifically to Raphael's painting. Meyer zur Capellen, Jurg. Raphael A Critical Catalogue of His Paintings. Landshut : Arcos, 2001- projected 5 volume set. We have v.1-3. In volume II: The Roman Religious Paintings ca. 1508-1520: entry for the Transfiguration pp. 195-209. On p. 199 there is a reference to Ottoman empire with a footnote citing the following: see summary in Preimesberger 1987, pp.97ff. From the bibliography this refers to: Preimesberger, Rudolf. "Tragische Motive in Raffaels 'Transfiguration,' Zeitschrift fur Kunstgeschichte, 50, (1987), pp.88-115. I checked our catalog to see if we might have a monograph on Raphael by Preimesberger and found this: Paragons and Paragone: Van Eyck, Raphael, Michelangelo, Caravaggio Bernini. Getty Research Institute, 2011. There is a English translation of Preimesberger's original essay: Tragic Motifs in Raphael's Transfiguration, p.1-22. Note especially the discussion on p.7ff.
