Today I’m going to share #maps from a 17C copy of Piri Reis’ Kitab-Bahriye, a collection of information about various islands and coastlines in #Ottoman #Turkish. Here, for example, are the coastlines by #Ayvalık (Tavuk Island), that of #Thessaloniki, and #Lesbos/Midilli.
Another #Christian #Arabic #manuscript for your #FridayThoughts. These are the #sermons of Ignatius Shukrullah (Or. 2323), copied in 1801 CE during the Lenten season. Apart from the #calligraphy and sparse #illumination, I love the parental advice included in the #colophon.
@TantanW The ones with the little leaf as a wash cloth on their heads.
A #GraphicNovel rendition of the life and accomplishments of #Atatürk, written in French. Atatürk hayatı hakkındaki Fransızca çizgi romanı.
