Piri reis's ships product name: piri reis's ships publisher: otuken publishing author: okay sütçüoğlu category: historical researches stock code: 9786051557861 number of pages: 146 size: 24 x 27 cm publication date: april 2019 cover type: hardcover paper type: 130 gr coated language: turkish okay sütçüoğlu, while making technical analyses of the ships in kitab-ı bahriye, discovered that these ships carry more meaning than just being a detail. based on the larger-scale redrawings of these ships, which were fitted into very small-scale areas, he concluded that they were not technical drawing elements, but rather came out of the hands of an artist with an extraordinary artistic style that challenged similar examples of renaissance art. The book, which contains original and striking results that become even clearer with the comparison of pieter bruegel's large-scale ship paintings, stands out as a unique monograph that not only falls into the field of turkish maritime history but also turkish art history. We know little of the ottoman ships before the eighteenth century, whether they were sail-powered or sailing ships. Unfortunately, the detailed shipyard and financial records in the ottoman archives do not reflect the technical details of ship architecture, so what is written in this field appears more as the history of the institution rather than the history of naval architecture. The fact that foreign language monographs detailing technical advancements in the west aren't readily available in our country, coupled with the fact that even in primary sources, we encounter information that completely contradicts the historical development of ship technology in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, leads to a concerning conclusion. The author of the valuable work you hold, okay sütçüoğlu, in his work which includes a detailed examination of the ship drawings in the famous work kitab-ı bahriye of piri reis, one of the most important sailors and cartographers of the ottomans, has thought of looking for the exactness that we cannot find in miniatures filling a full page in many manuscripts, in the 1-2 centimeter ships on piri reis's maps. With the experience gained from his military background, it seems that he has managed to go beyond the analyses of our historians and has written a work that will fill a significant gap in the field. I have no doubt that this remarkable book, which both appeals to the general reader and offers valuable information to expert historians of naval history, will also serve as a methodological guide for the new generation of researchers.
