Product Description

The Piri Reis Map is a World Map compiled in 1513 by the Ottoman admiral and cartographer Piri Reis. Approximately one third of the map survives; it shows the western coasts of Europe and North Africa and the coast of Brazil with reasonable accuracy. Various Atlantic islands, including the Azores and Canary Islands, are depicted, as is the mythical island of Antillia and possibly Japan. The Piri Reis Map was Rediscovered in 1929 after a German Theologian was commissioned to catalogue the Topaki Palace Library. The Map's Historical Importance lies in its demonstration of the extent of Global Exploration of the New World by approximately 1510, and in its claim to have used a map of Christopher Columbus, otherwise lost, as a source. Piri also stated that he had used ten Arab sources and four Indian maps sourced from the Portuguese. More recently, the map has been the focus of claims for the Pre-Modern Exploration of the Antarctic Coast. The Piri Reis Map is in the Library of the Topkapı Palace in Istanbul, Turkey, but is not usually on display to the public.
