About Edirne (Adrianople)

Edirne (Adrianople) was the Ottoman capital before Mehmed II's conquest of Constantinople in 1453, and remained one of the empire's largest Sephardic centers after 1492. R. Yosef Karo wrote the bulk of the Beit Yosef here between 1522 and 1554 before relocating to Tzfat. The city's Beit Midrash housed Karo, R. Yosef Taitazak, and R. Yitzchak Caro.
