Columbus 1492 - how many years for news to reach all Europe (including Ottoman empire)?

Upvote:2

It did not take years. By the end of 1493 everyone who cared knew about this.

Columbus returned from his first voyage on 15 of March 1493. According to Wikipedia:

Almost immediately after his arrival in Spain, printed versions began to appear, and word of his voyage spread rapidly.

On 3 and 4 of May the Pope already issued Bulls of Donation reacting on this voyage. Like all bulls of the Pope they certainly were immediately spread over the Christian (Catholic) world.

It is harder to tell when the news reached the Ottoman empire, but certainly this did not take long through diplomatic channels.

So one can safely suppose that the news spread with the speed of a diplomatic courier travel.
