Product Description

Written by Piri Reis in 1521, the Kitab-ı Bahriye serves as an essential maritime guide. It functions both as a practical sailor's handbook and demonstrates advanced cartographic techniques of its time. The book details Portuguese nautical advancements, along with comprehensive information about the China Sea, Indian Ocean, Mediterranean and Aegean winds, Persian Gulf, and Atlantic Ocean.

The map section provides historical and geographical details of coastal areas starting from the Dardanelles, including the Aegean shores and islands, Adriatic coastlines, Western Italy, Southern France, and Eastern Spain with surrounding islands. This decorative plate features the map of Venice City from the book. The accompanying text describes Venice's founding, its rulers, and interestingly mentions how San Marco was brought to Venice.

This product is designed for decorative purposes. Clean only with a dry cloth, avoiding any contact with moisture or water.
