Giovanni Molino, originaire d’Ankara, était un dhimmi ottoman, écrivain, traducteur et interprète trilingue (arménien, turc ottoman, italien). Son Dittionario de 1641, édité et imprimé à Rome, est le premier grand dictionnaire turc et un témoignage important du turc parlé à Constantinople au XVIIe siècle (“However, if someone is looking for an example of the language of Istanbul, they can certainly find it in the Italian-Turkic dictionary by Giovanni Molino of 1641”, Stein, 2001).
Accompagnant l'effervescence intellectuelle et l'intérêt porté aux régions extra méditerranéennes, l’édition du dictionnaire de Molino révolutionne l’expérience du voyage, du commerce et de la diplomatie au XVIIe siècle.
