The first volume of the Greek translation of the Mecelle, by Konstantinos Photiadis and Ioannis Vithynos

Yanko (Ioannis) Vithynos[1] was an Ottoman Greek statesman, who was the Ottoman-appointed Prince of Samos from 1904 to 1906.

He wrote articles in Turkish for Ottoman Turkish publications,[1] as he knew that language well.[2] and completed his education at the Great National School (Megalē tou Genous scholē).[1] He, with Konstantinos Photiades,[2] co-translated the Mecelle into Greek, and he also wrote his commentary on the Ottoman Commercial Code (Ticaret Kanunnamesi).[1]
