This book explains the scientific findings of Piri Reis, the most important figure in Turkish and world maritime history.

In reality, Piri Reis's scientific side is not well known today. When Kitab-ı Bahriye, which he wrote to explain his map, is read carefully, it becomes clear that Piri Reis also possessed a deep scientific knowledge. In particular, each statement he expressed in poetry actually represents a scientific observation. The sections written in prose also contain scientific expressions, but they are not as exciting as those expressed in poetry.

For readers who are curious about the scientific side of this magnificent Turkish navigator, who spread the name of the Ottoman Empire throughout the world in an unforgettable way, this book is an invaluable work.
