On his historic visit to Turkey, Preident Isaac Herzog gave Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan a facsimile - or copy - of a print of a poem written by Suleiman the Magnificent (1494-1566), from the National Library of Israel collection.
The facsimile is an anthology collection of poems written under Suleiman the Magnificent's pen name, Mohibi ("the lover").
The rare copy was produced during the lifetime of Suleiman the Magnificent in 1553. It is one of the only copies available in the world of the anthology.
Suleiman the Magnificent, or Soleiman I was the longest-reigning Sultan of the Ottman Empire from 1520 to 1566. He extended the borders of the Ottoman Empire to include much of the Middle East.
