Müteferrika tried to rediscover the New World for the Turkish public with this historical and natural historical description of the American continent with the publication of this work, abounding in engraved illustrations. The author of the work which served as a basis to the printed version was Mehmed bin Hasan al-Sucûdî (died 1591), but the authorship of Seydî cAlî Re’îs (1498-1562) has been proposed as well. The earliest copy of the work was donated to Sultan Murâd III (1574-1595) in 1583, almost a century after the discovery of the new continent. Despite the title, this is not a history of the West Indies. It opens with a general geographical and cosmological discussion and follows with an account of the discovery of the New World, with considerable fantastic elaboration in the spirit of the more fabulous passages of Abū Ḥāmid and Qazwīnī. The volume, which can be divided into two major sections, offers a more detailed and ampler historical (1492-1552) and geographical description of the continent than the books published in the 16th and 17th century. The 13 smaller illustrations show not only human figures, animals and plants, but also fabulous creatures.
