{"product_id":"kitab-i-bahriye-piri-reis","title":"Book of Navigation Piri Reis","description":"\u003cp\u003eConsidered a monumental work of invaluable worth, the Kitâb-ı Bahriye was prepared by the famous seaman and cartographer Derya Sancak Beyi Pîrî Reis and has reached our day as one of the most important works in Ottoman geography and cartography. Pîrî Reis came to Istanbul in 1494 with his uncle Kemal Reis in response to Bayezid II's call for pirate mariners in the Mediterranean to join the Ottoman navy, and between 1495 and 1510, he served in important campaigns such as Lepanto, Modon, Coron, Navarino, Mytilene, and Rhodes. After a period of retreat, Pîrî Reis rejoined the Ottoman Navy in 1523, earning the admiration of Grand Vizier Pargalı Damat İbrahim Pasha during his voyage to Egypt. In 1525, he revised the first volume of the Kitâb-ı Bahriye and prepared its second volume. This work, presented to Suleiman the Magnificent, offers detailed information about the Mediterranean and its surrounding seas, coasts, islands, passages, bays, and ports, while also conveying essential knowledge required in navigation in an instructional and philosophical language. Enriched with hundreds of maps and illustrations, the Kitâb-ı Bahriye is a unique source that forms the scientific and visual memory of the Ottoman maritime tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor Whom?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis work is prepared for researchers interested in Ottoman maritime history, geography, and cartography, history readers, and collectors looking for prestigious works enriched with visual map atlases.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Demirören Yayınları","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48442177650931,"sku":"9786259982731","price":17820.0,"currency_code":"TRY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/3950\/7395\/files\/Screenshot_7_13936561-d3d9-4e65-b9b1-a726d730c41b.png?v=1769640153","url":"https:\/\/yemkitabevi.com\/en-us\/products\/kitab-i-bahriye-piri-reis","provider":"YEM Kitabevi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
