dc.description.abstractIn the exhibition of Suleyman the Magnificent, which has been viewed in several countries, there is, besides a number of other historical artefacts, the First World Map drawn by Piri Reis in 1513. This article is a brief examination of the correctness of that map. Piri Reis was a mariner and also the most important Turkish cartographer of the 16th century. He was born in Gallipoli sometime between 1465 and 1470. At that time Gallipoli was a maritime station for the Ottoman Empire. He was the nephew of Kemal Reis, the famous Ottoman Empire admiral responsible for operations in the Mediterranean Sea. During his teenage years he sailed on all his uncle's excursions, both the official visits and the pirate activities. He observed the places to which they travelled and contemporary events, which he recorded in his own journals. This information was compiled into a hand-written book called 'Kitab-i Bahriye', in which partial descriptions of all the locations throughout the Mediterranean Sea to which he had journeyed are given. Visits to Spain, Algeria, Tunisia, Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica between 1487 and 1493 proved particularly fruitful. After the death of his uncle in 1511, Piri Reis went back to Gallipoli and worked on the First World Map, which was finally drawn up in 1513. 'Kitab-i Bahriye' was written up at the same time. Today only a portion of the map exists covering the west side of Africa, the south west of Europe and the eastern part of South and Central America. Piri Reis himself died in Egypt in 1554.en_US
