The Epistolae magni Turci were falsely attributed to Mahomet II by the author, Laudivius Zacchia (F. Babinger, Laudivius Zacchia, der Erdichter der "Epistolae Magni Turci", Bayerische Akademie der Wissenschaften, Phil.-hist. Klasse, Sitzungsberichte, Heft 13, 1960) (CIBN). The Phalaris, Epistolae, were in fact translated by Franciscus Griffolinus (Aretinus), and not by Leonardus Brunus Aretinus as stated in the edition (BMC)
