In: Bryer, A./ Ursinus, M. (eds.): Manzikert to Lepanto. The Byzantine World and the Turks 1071-1571. Amsterdam 1991 (Byzantinische Forschungen 16). You might want to look for some of the works of Martin Crusius, Professor in Tuebingen around 1600, who was (one of) the first to do studies of the culture and language of the newer Greece: the first philhellenist of his time. (But you need to know at least three languages: Latin, Greek, and German.)
