The Turkish translation appeared way back in 2011. I don't know if it is still available.
Türkçe çeviri 2011'de çıktı. D&R'da çok satılan kitaplar listesindeydi. Hâlâ piyasa'da mi bilemiyorum. Belki Türkiye'dekiler bilir.

(the segment is from 1:36:05 to 1:52:45)
Where are the valiant princes of whom I have told?
Those who said 'The world is mine'?
Doom has taken them, earth has hidden them.
Who inherits this transient world,
The world to which people come, from which they go,
The world whose latter end is death?

@highamnews
ranging from way Ottomans saw themselves to private passions of Sultans,role of Jews,tolerance, religion & the fragility & impermanence of empire.
'It was the intervention of the Ottoman Sultan Bayezid II, who dispatched the Ottoman navy to evacuate the Jewish population, that brought thousands of Sephardic Jews to Istanbul and other Turkish territories.'
Really? Ottomans sent ships to Spain in 1492?
