Show moreThe legendary 17th-century Ottoman Turkish scholar Kâtip Çelebi started to write this historical work a propos of the Cretan war of 1645, and completed it as a unique summary of the history of Turkish maritime operations. The first part reports on the success of the Ottoman fleet before 1453, while the second reviews the history of maritime wars and the condition and organizational structure of the fleet from the conquest of Istanbul to 1653. The description is complemented by several maps as well as by a list of the admirals (kapudân paşa). The origin of the engraved maps included in the printed version is unclear. The work is the second printed book in Arabic script in the Islamic territory by Ibrahim Müteferrika who founded the press. Müteferrika may have considered it suitable to publish both for its historical value and its popularity. The introductory pages of the printed version include the publisher’s preface and four recommendations. Illustrations are: the map of the two hemispheres; the map of the Aegean sea; the map of the Adriatic sea; and the drawings of the marine and inclinatory needle compasses. كاتب چلبي النص مطبوعة في صفحتين. في كلمات مفتاحية. النص بداخل إطار. تظهر في النص خصوصية تأشير بعض المصطلحات بخط في أعلاها. تضمن فهارس.
