Description

An ephemeral biography of Christopher Columbus in Ottoman language was issued in the series Büyük Adamlar Serisi (Series of Important Men) with Ottoman lettering in the last year before the Atatürk’s reformation of the script in the Republic of Turkey.

The Ottomans were always fascinated by the discovery of America and the adventurous life of Columbus. Several articles, books and pamphlets were published on the subject in the 19th century.

We could find two institutional examples on Worldcat (Harvard University, Ohio State University Libraries).
