All I could see in there is that during that 600 year Ottoman period there were a handful of scholars, most of which were simply compiling books based on already existing knowledge. Here are some extracts:
wrote: Mehmed the Conqueror patronized the Islamic
scholars and at the same time he ordered the Greek scholar from
Trabzon Georgios Amirutzes and his son to translate the Geography
book of Ptolemy into Arabic and to draw a world map
I wonder what would happen to the guy if he did not obey the order.
wrote: No doubt the most notable scientist of the
Conqueror's period is Ali Kuώηu, a representative of the Samarkand
tradition. The total number of his works on mathematics and
astronomy is twelve. One of them is his commentary on the Zij-i Uluπ
Bey in Persian. His two works in persian, namely, Risala fi'l-Hay'a
(Treatise on Astronomy) and Risala Fi'l-Hisab (Treatise on
Arithmetic) were taught in the Ottoman medreses
Hmm another compiling(?) and comentary work?
wrote: Another noteworthy
scholar of the Bayezid II period (1481-1512) was Molla Lϋtfi. He
wrote a treatise about the classification of sciences titled
Mawdu'at-Ulum (Subjects of the Sciences) in Arabic and compiled a
book on geometry titled Tad'if al-Madhbah (Duplication of Cube)
which was partly translated from Greek.

of the earliest independent works on dentistry which is based on
Greek, Islamic, and Uighur Turkish medical sources and in particular

Who complained that the Turks (meaning to say "Ottomans") were not good for anything other than copy-paste? Murtaza was it you?
