Obra publicada no âmbito das comemorações do Quinto Centenário do Mapa Mundo de Piri Reis, que decorreram a partir de 2013. O Kitab-i Bahriyye - Livro de Navegação, de 1521, é um roteiro com 290 cartas desenhadas pelo autor e com o texto copiado por um excelente calígrafo, onde reuniu os seus conhecimentos sobre geografia do mediterrãneo e sobre cartografia. É a mais completa e exacta descrição do Mediterrãneo feita até esta data. Contém cartas muito rigorosas e pormenorizadas, informação detalhada das técnicas de navegação, descrições da costa do Mediterrâneo, das suas ilhas, estreitos, e golfos, assinala os lugares mais próprios para os navios se refugiarem durante as tempestades, as rotas para os portos e a forma de se aproximar de cada porto. Piri Reis (Galípoli, c. 1465 - Cairo 1553) Almirante, geógrafo e cartógrafo otomano. Muito célebre por ter sido o autor do primeiro mapa Turco, que inclui partes do continente americano. É autor de duas cartas de marear, uma delas, de 1513, muito célebre por se basear em mapas que lhe foram oferecidos por Colombo, e outra elaborada em 1528. A sua notável obra cartográfica foi realizada devido à grande esperiência e conhecimentos obtidos durante a sua longa carreira como marinheiro e Almirante, assim como á sua capacidade de estar a par dos avanços da ciência e da náutica nomeadamente dos portugueses. Era sobrinho do Almirante da Armada Otomana, Kemal Reis e começou a sua carreira, com 11 anos, ao serviço do seu tio. Entre 1499 e 1502 assumiu o comando de uma esquadrilha e até ao falecimento do seu tio em 1511 comandou esquadras nas guerras com Veneza. Em 1516 e 1517 acompanhou Selim I, na conquista do Egipto, Síria e a Palestina, tendo colaborado na tomada de Alexandria e em 1523 participou na campanha de Rodes. Em 1547 foi designado para comandar a Armada destinada a enfrentar a expansão portuguesa no Mar Vermelho, Mar da Arábia, Índico e no Golfo Pérsico. Apesar de alguns sucessos iniciais, em Aden, 1547 e Mascate, em 1551, acabou por falhar na suas tentaivas de expulsar os portuguese do Mar Vermelho e do Golfo Pérsico e voltou só com dois dos seus navios ao Cairo, onde, acusado de ter sido subornado, foi decapitado em 1553, 32.7x22.7 cm. 40, pp., [ii], 426, [i] folios. Bound in full leather imitating the Ottoman style, with a flap protecting the edges and closing over the rear board, with gold tools on the spine and on the boards, in low relief, forming an elaborate square with geometric and floral decorations, particularly at the corners and with large decorative fleurons at the centre. The endpapers reproduce beautiful marbled patterns by Numune Matbaasi. Illustrated with a magnificent facsimile, photographs by Bahadir Taskin, on coated paper, with an exact representation in every detail and colour of the best and most complete of all the copies of the second edition (1525) currently extant of this work. The initial 40 pages contain: a Foreword by Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Prime Minister of Turkey: an Introduction by Ömer Çelik, Minister of Culture and Tourism; a Study on the work and the author by Fikret SaricaoGlu, Professor at Istanbul University, 3 texts in Turkish and English; and a detailed index to the maps and chapters, in Turkish. Published as part of the celebrations of the Fifth Centenary of Piri Reis" World Map, which took place from 2013. The Kitab-i Bahriyye - Book of Navigation, of 1521, is a guide with 290 charts drawn by the author and with the text copied by an excellent calligrapher, where he gathered his knowledge of Mediterranean geography and cartography. It is the most complete and accurate description of the Mediterranean made to this date. Contains very accurate and detailed charts, detailed information on navigation techniques, descriptions of the Mediterranean coast, its islands, straits, and gulfs, points out the most suitable places for ships to take refuge during storms, the routes to ports, and how to approach each port. Piri Reis (Gallipoli, c. 1465 - Cairo 1553) Ottoman admiral, geographer and cartographer. Most famous for being the author of the first Turkish map, which includes parts of the American continent. He is the author of two sea charts, one in 1513, famous for being based on maps given to him by Columbus, and the other in 1528. His remarkable cartographic work was achieved due to the great experience and knowledge obtained during his long career as a sailor and admiral, as well as his ability to keep abreast of advances in science and nautical science, particularly those of the Portuguese. He was the nephew of the Admiral of the Ottoman Armada, Kemal Reis and began his career, at the age of 11, in the service of his uncle. B.

In 1513 he made an important map that still survives, including the European, African and North and South American Atlantic coasts based on numerous sources, including a lost map drawn by Columbus. He then decided to collect "all his own observations and all previous information that he could not fit onto the maps" in a book. "It is basically a naval guidebook with essential data on the most important coastal routes and large maps and detailed charts The main portion of the book is devoted to the Mediterranean coasts and islands. Piri first gives historical and geographical information and then discusses the necessary practical navigational data. The accuracy of many of his statements is indisputable." (DSB). The final chapter of the book describes the supposed newly discovered continent or island Antilia "the mountains of which contain rich gold ores and in the seas, pearls The chapter on the Western Sea contains all that was known about the discovery of America at the time" (DSB). In his 1513 map, Piri had made Antilla, first described in 1424 in the mid-Atlantic, an island off the coast of North America, the earliest of many speculations that it may derive from pre-Columbian voyages to America.First written in 1521, the manuscript was reworked in 1526 for presentation to sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. This later manuscript was published twice, in 1935 and 1998, but Piri's original version is still available only in the current edition by the German scholar Paul Kahle (1875-1961). The first volume (in two bindings) is a facsimile of a manuscript in Bologna containing Piri Reis's 1521 text, with a few pages added from a manuscript in Dresden. The second volume is an annotated German translation of the text, based on these manuscripts as well as on a manuscript in Vienna.
