Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Manuscript Ottoman Atlas, by Pirî Reis. Author's name given on fol. 376b as Raʾīs al-Baḥr Pīrī ibn Muḥammad; author dates preferred by (Walters) cataloger: d. 962 AH / 1555 CE. All images and metadata are provided by the Walters Art Museum, Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Originally composed in 932 AH / 1525 CE and dedicated to Sultan Süleyman I (the Magnificent), this great work by Piri Reis (d. 962 AH / 1555 CE) on navigation was later revised and expanded. The present manuscript, made mostly in the late eleventh century AH / seventeenth CE, is based on the later expanded version and has some 240 exquisitely executed maps and portolan charts. They include a world map with the outline of the Americas (fol. 41a) and maps of coastlines (bays, capes, peninsulas); islands, mountain, and cities of the Mediterranean basin and the Black Sea. The work starts with a description of the coastline of Anatolia and the islands of the Aegean Sea, the Peloponnese peninsula, and the eastern and western coasts of the Adriatic Sea. It then proceeds to describe the western shores of Italy, southern France, Spain, North Africa, Palestine, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, western Anatolia, various islands north of Crete, the Sea of Marmara, the Bosporus, and the Black Sea. It ends with a map of the shores of the Caspian Sea (fol. 374a). Published in 1700.

Toutes les images et métadonnées sont fournies par le Walters Art Museum, Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Composé à l'origine en 932 AH / 1525 CE et dédié au sultan Süleyman I (le Magnifique), ce grand ouvrage de Pirî Reis (décédé en 962 AH / 1555 CE) sur la navigation a ensuite été révisé et élargi. Le présent manuscrit, réalisé principalement à la fin du XIe siècle AH / XVIIe CE, est basé sur la version élargie ultérieure et contient quelque 240 cartes et portulans superbement exécutés. Ils comprennent une carte du monde avec le contour des Amériques (fol. 41a) et des cartes des côtes (baies, caps, péninsules) ; les îles, montagnes et villes du bassin méditerranéen et de la mer Noire.

Il procède ensuite à la description des côtes occidentales de l'Italie, du sud de la France, de l'Espagne, de l'Afrique du Nord, de la Palestine, d'Israël, du Liban, de la Syrie, de l'ouest de l'Anatolie, de diverses îles au nord de la Crète, de la mer de Marmara, du Bosphore et de la mer Noire.
