Dear Tentakulus,

Your point about.
1. no apparent linguistic references in the VM to Turkish.
2. the drawing style does not show any approximation to Ottoman either.
3. one or more travellers with an old Anatolian dialect in the middle of Europe. Quite unlikely.
4. from history: Ottomans are on the verge of Venice. Even if travel was given as the reason, it is possible that they would simply have been hanged as spies (because of the different language). It was just a bad time to travel.

So, 

I think it would be wrong to make any comments based on what you wrote about history and linguistics. 
It is probably a kind of expression of information deficiencies and prejudices in every item you write.
