Episode Notes
Having recently read Yale professor Alan Mikhail’s forthcoming God’s Shadow: Sultan Selim, His Ottoman Empire, and the Making of the Modern World, John started thinking about some of the languages spoken around the Mediterranean in the late Middle Ages.

Podcast production by Mike Vuolo.
