2002New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. In special slip-case. 4to. (30 xx 22 cm). In English, with the Turkish transcription and the reprint of the original Ottoman text. 639 p., color ills. Book of navigation. [= Kitab-i bahriye]. Project coordinator: Nurettin Güz. Consultant: Halil Inalcik. Edited by Bülent Ari. Translation from Ottoman: Ahmet Demir. English translation by Ercüment Ozden, Fadime Özden, Akgun Ilhan. [English Edition]. "Kitab-i Bahriye of Piri Reis is authentic and important in that it shows the historical, geographical, ecological, social, cultural and natural characteristics of the lands it talks about in addition to the information he gives in the area of Turkish science and navigation in 16th century. We appreciate this work giving detailed information in many areas not only for our people but for universal culture also. The fact that the information in this book is not only for the interest of Turks but also for many other nations, and that it is not only about one part of the world but also about most of the known parts of the world including America shows us another characteristic of Kitab-i Bahriye. This work should be published again for the development of culture of tourism and for the purpose of directing young generations into the area of Turkish navigation".
