Ottoman Jewish Resettlement

1490

Sultan Bayezid II continued welcoming Iberian Jews expelled from Spain and Portugal, settling them in Salonika, Istanbul, and Izmir. A Sephardic community speaking Ladino would flourish within the Ottoman framework for four centuries. Bayezid reportedly marveled that Ferdinand was hailed as wise for impoverishing his kingdom and enriching the Ottoman.
