“Achievements
The conqueror reorganized the Ottoman government and, for
the first time, codified the criminal law and the laws relating to his subjects
in one code, whereas the constitution was elaborated in another, the two codes
forming the nucleus of all subsequent legislation. In the utterly autocratic
personality of the conqueror, the classical image of an Ottoman padishah
(emperor) was born. He punished with the utmost severity those who resisted his
decrees and laws, and even his Ottoman contemporaries considered him
excessively hard.
Nevertheless, Mehmed may be considered the most broad-minded
and freethinking of the Ottoman sultans. After the fall of Constantinople, he
gathered Italian humanists and Greek scholars at his court; he caused the
patriarch Gennadius II Scholarios to write a credo of the Christian faith and
had it translated into Turkish; he collected in his palace a library of works
in Greek and Latin. He called Gentile Bellini from Venice to decorate the walls
of his palace with frescoes as well as to paint his portrait (now in the
National Gallery, London). Around the grand mosque that he constructed, he
erected eight colleges, which, for nearly a century, kept their rank as the
highest teaching institutions of the Islamic sciences in the empire. At times,
he assembled the ʿulamāʾ, or learned Muslim teachers, and caused them to
discuss theological problems in his presence. In his reign, mathematics,
astronomy, and Muslim theology reached their highest level among the Ottomans.
And Mehmed himself left a divan (a collection of poems in the traditional style
of classical Ottoman literature).” https://www.britannica.com/biography/Mehmed-II-Ottoman-sultan#:~:text=What%20were%20Mehmed%20II's%20achievements,i%20Rum%20(Roman%20Caesar).

Sultan Mehmed II is considered as one of the rare rulers who
changed the course of world history but less known is his art patronage that
left deep traces in the Western and Eastern world. Mehmed II, who was
interested in ancient history and Western culture from an early age, was the
first Ottoman ruler who had cultural relations with the West. - He enriched his
library with a great number of scientific books written in various languages in
the fields of geography, medicine, history and philosophy. Among these were
Bibles and classical Greek works. Giorgios Amirutzes of Trabezond produced a
world map for the sultan by making use of Ptolemy's Geographike.3 In the
Topkapi Palace, there is a Latin copy of the Geographike and an Italian
translation by Berlinghieri Fiorentino dedicated to Mehmed II (TSM GI84).
Italian and Catalan maps and portolans also reached the
palace in this period.4 In addition to
scientific books and maps Italian engravings depicting mythological and
religious scenes found their way to the Sultan's library.5
