About this listen

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the Tulip Age (1718-1730), a brief but transformative period in Ottoman history when Sultan Ahmed III and his grand vizier Nevşehirli Damat İbrahim Pasha opened the empire to European influence. They discuss the signing of the Treaty of Passarowitz, the establishment of the first Ottoman printing press by İbrahim Müteferrika, the rise of tulip mania in Istanbul, and the cultural flourishing that blended Baroque and Islamic art. The episode also covers the economic strain caused by extravagant palace gardens, the Patrona Halil rebellion that ended the era, and the legacy of this experiment in reform. Listeners will learn about key figures like Damat İbrahim Pasha, the poet Nedim, and the rebel Patrona Halil, as well as the paradox of an age known for beauty but built on debt.
