I am grateful for the appreciative comments of Gregory C. McIntosh below. I hope anyone who wishes to read the Map finds this work excellent like him.
The texts below contain the original Ottoman Turkish version written in Latin letters (above) and its English translation for each point (below). To ease the reader, when Ottoman Turkish texts were long, each line was separated and indicated in alphabetical order [a) or c)].
1. Vakami denilen kızıl boya olur ki karşıda görülmez gayet uzaktır…dağlarında madenlik bigayet bakkamı çok bir yerde koynu olur ki yünü ibrişimdir ilmügi açarmış.
1. There is a kind of red dye called vakami, that you do not observe at first, because it is at a distance . . . the mountains contain rich ores. . . . There, some of the sheep have silken wool.
“Vakami, was an important early product of the New World imported into Europe”. (McIntosh, 30).
2. Kavpunta Arofi: Bu diyarlar imaretliktir. Cümle halkı üryan yürürler.
2. This country is inhabited. The entire population go naked.
Arofi possibly meant Ornofay around the south coast of Cuba.
3-Feridat Kalesi (üst)
Bu diyara Antilya vilâyeti derler. Gün batısı canibidir. Dört cins tuti olur imiş, ak, kızıl, yeşil, kara. Halkı tuti etini yerler ve taçları cümle tuti yünündendir. Bunda bir taş olur, siyah mehenk taşına benzer, halkı nacak yerine anı kullanırlar imiş. Gayet te berk taş olduğunu . . . . . . ; biz ol taşı gördük.
3-The Castle of Feridat (above)
This region is known as the province of Antilia. It is on the side where the sun sets. They say that here there are four kinds of parrots, white, red, green, and black. The people eat the flesh of parrots and their headdress is made entirely of parrot feathers. There is a stone here. It resembles a black touchstone. The people use it instead of an ax. That it is very hard . . . [illegible]…. we saw that stone.
The Castle of Feridat can mean the Spanish Governorate of Veragua (Gobernación de Veragua) below on the right side. This governorate included the coasts of Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama [below on the left side] until 1537. (McIntosh, 108)

This section tells how these shores and also these islands were discovered.
These coasts are named the shores of Antilia. They were discovered in the year 896 of the Arab calendar. But it is reported thus, that a Genoese infidel, his name was Colombo [Columbus], discovered these places. For instance, a book fell into the hands of the said Colombo, and he found it said in this book that at the end of the Western Sea [Atlantic] that is, on its western side, there were coasts and islands and all kinds of metals and also precious stones. Colombo, having studied this book thoroughly, explained these matters one by one to the greats of Genoa and said: “Come, give me two ships, let me go and find these places.” They said: “O unprofitable man, can an end or a limit be found to the Western Sea? Even its vapor is full of darkness.” The above-mentioned Colombo saw that no help was forthcoming from the Genoese, he sped forth, went to the Bey of Spain [king], and told his tale in detail. They too answered like the Genoese. In brief, Colombo petitioned these people for a long time, finally, the Bey of Spain gave him two ships, saw that they were well equipped, and said: To top
“O Colombo, if it happens as you say, let us make you the “kapudan” [admiral] to that country.” Having said this, he sent the said Colombo to the Western Sea. The late Gazi Kemal had a Spanish slave. The above-mentioned slave said to Kemal Reis, that he had been three times to that land with Colombo. He said: “First we reached the Strait of Gibraltar, then from there straight south and west between the two . . . [illegible]. Having advanced straight-four thousand miles, we saw an island facing us, but gradually the waves of the sea became foamless, that is, the sea was becalmed and the North Star – which the seamen on their compasses still call the star – little by little was veiled and became invisible, and he also said that the stars in that region are not arranged as here. They are seen in a different arrangements. They anchored at the island that they had seen earlier across the way, the population of the island came, shot arrows at them, and did not allow them to land and ask for information. The males and the females shot hand arrows. The tips of these arrows were made of fishbone, and the whole population went naked and also very . . . [illegible].
Seeing that they could not land on that island, they crossed to the other side of the island where they saw a boat. On seeing them; the boat fled and they [the people in the boat] dashed out on land. They [the Spaniards] took the boat. They saw that inside of it there was human flesh. It happened that these people were of the kind who went from island to island hunting men and eating them. They said Colombo saw yet another island, they neared it, and they saw that on that island there were great snakes. They avoided landing on this island and remained there for seventeen days. The people of this island saw that no harm came to them from this boat, they caught fish and brought it to them in their small boats. These [Spaniards] were pleased and gave them glass beads. It appears that he [Columbus] had read in the book that in that region glass beads were valued. Seeing the beads they brought still more fish. These [Spaniards] always gave them glass beads. One day they saw gold around the arm of a woman, they took the gold and gave her beads. They said to them “bring more gold, we will give you more beads”. They went and brought them a lot of gold. It appears that in their mountains there were gold mines. One day, also, they saw pearls in the hands of one person. They saw that when; they gave beads, many more pearls were brought to them. Pearls were found on the shore of this island, in a spot one or two fathoms deep. And also loading their ship with many logwood trees and taking two natives along, they carried them within that year to the Bey of Spain. But the said Colombo, not knowing the language of these people, traded by signs, and after this trip, the Bey of Spain sent priests and barley, taught the natives how to sow and reap, and converted them to his own religion. They had no religion of any sort. They walked naked and lay there like animals. Now, these regions have been opened to all and have become famous. The names which mark the places on the said islands and coasts were given by Colombo, that these places may be known by them. And also Colombo was a great astronomer. The coasts and islands on this map are taken from Colombo’s map.
6 –a) Bu fasıl işbu hartinin ne tarikle telif olduğunu beyan eder.
b) İşbu harti misalinde harti asır içinde kimesnede yoktur. Bu fakirin elinde telif olup şimdi bünyat oldu. Hususan
c) yirmi miktar hartiler ve Yappamondolardan – yani İskenderi Zülkarneyn zamanında telif olmuş hartidir ki rubu meskûn
d) anın içinde malûmdur; Arap tayfası ol hartiya Caferiye derler anın gibi sekiz Caferiyeden ve bir Arabî Hint
e) hartisinden ve dört Portukalın şimdi telif olmuş hartilerinden kim Sint ve Hint ve Çin diyarları hendese
f) tariki üzerine ol hartilerin içinde mesturdur, ve bir dahi Kolonbonun garp tarafında yazdığı hartiden
g) bir kıyas üzerine istihraç edip bu şekil hâsıl oldu; şöyle ki bu diyarın hartisi bahriler içinde nice sahih
h) ve muteber ise, mezbur harti de dahi yedi derya ile sahih ve muteberdir.
6. This section explains in what way this map was drawn. In this century there is no map like this map in anyone’s possession. The hand of this poor man has drawn it and now it is constructed from about twenty charts and Mappae Mundi, these are charts drawn in the days of Alexander, Lord of the Two Horns, which show the inhabited quarter of the world; the Arabs name these charts Jaferiye, from eight Jaferiyes of that kind and one Arabic map of Hind, and from the maps just drawn by four Portuguese which show the countries of Hind, Sind and China geometrically drawn, and also from a map drawn by Colombo in the western region. By reducing all these maps to one scale this final form was arrived at. So that the present map is as correct and reliable for the Seven Seas as the maps of our own countries are considered correct and reliable by seamen.
7-Bu yerde Portukal kâfiri rivayet eder kim bu yerde gece ve gündüz kısalıcak iki saat olur, (b) uzayıcak yirmi iki saat olur. Amma gündüzü gayet ıssı olup ve (c) gecede gayet çiy düşer derler.
7. It is relayed by the Portuguese infidel that in this spot night and day are at their shortest of two hours, at their longest of twenty-two hours. But the day is very warm and at the night there is a lot of dew.
“This range of latitudes, in the Drake Passage south of Tierra del Fuego and the Palmer Peninsula in Antarctica, is further south than the Portuguese or anyone else is known to have sailed until the next century.” (McIntosh, 47)
8 –a) Portukal gemisi Hint vilâyetine giderken muhalif rüzgâra duş gelir kenardan; bunu rüzgâr kenardan . . . . . . .
b) ken fırtınayile kıble canibine gittikten sora karşılarında bir kenar görürler, anın üzerine yürürler…
c)görmüşler ki hûp demir yerlerdir. Demir korlar, sandalla kenara çıkarlar, görürler kim adamlar yürür, herbirisi üryan;
d) ve lâkin el okun atarlar, demrenleri balık süğüğünden. Bunlar anda sekiz gün yatarlar, o halkla satı pazar ederler işareyile.
e) Bu diyarları ol barça görüp yazmıştır ki….çekip durur. Mezbur barça Hinde gitmeyip döner, Portukala varıp haber verir….
f) Bu kenarları tafsilile yazarlar; anlar bulmuş (?) oldu.
8. On the way to the vilayet of Hind a Portuguese ship encountered a contrary wind [blowing] from the shore. The wind from the shore . . . [illegible] it [the ship]. After being driven by a storm in a southern direction they saw ashore opposite them they advanced towards it [illegible]. They saw that these places are good anchorages. They threw anchor and went to the shore in boats. They saw people walking, all of them naked. But they shot arrows, their tips made of fishbone. They stayed there for eight days. They traded with these people by signs. That barge saw these lands and wrote about them which. . . . The said barge without going to Hind, returned to Portugal, where, upon arrival it gave information. . . . They described these shores in detail. . . . They have discovered them.
9-a) Ve bu diyarda ak kıllı ve bu şekilli/canavar ve dahi altı boynuzlu kâvlar/olurmuş; Portukal kâfiri hartilerinde yazmışlar.
9-And in this country it seems that there are white-haired monsters in this shape, and also six-horned oxen. The Portuguese infidels have written it on their maps.
10 – Bu diyarda imaretlik yoktur, cümle haraptır ve ulu yılanlar olurmuş ; ol sebepten Portukal kâfiri bu kenarlara çıkmazlar imiş ve hem gayet ıssılar olur imiş.
10. This country is a waste. Everything is in ruin and it is said that large snakes are found here. For this reason, the Portuguese infidels did not land on these shores and these are also said to be very hot.
The information concerning snakes Piri Reis provides refers to Brazil according to McIntosh. (p. 49)
11-Ve bu dört pare gemi Portukal gemisidir. Hem şekli yazılmıştır. Mağrip diyarından/Habeş burnuna geçerler kim Hinde gideler. Şuluk üzerine yürürler. Bu körfezi/arkırı geçmeğe dört bin iki yüz mildir.
11-And these four ships are Portuguese. Their shape is written down. They traveled from the western land to the point of Abyssinia [Habesh] to reach India. They said towards Chalice. The distance across this gulf is 4200 miles.
12-…bu kenarda bir kale…olur zira…iklimde altın…halat iledüp…nde ölçerler imiş. San Methiyos
12. …. on this shore a tower…. is, however…. in this climate gold…. taking a rope …. is said they measured
“The small group of islands in the Gulf of Guinea labeled Sanmetiyos is San Mateus, or St. Matthew’s Island, a legendary island first reported by the Portuguese” (McIntosh, 31).
13– Ve bir Cineviz kükesi Flandırdan gelirken fırtına bulup önüne katar; zarurî giderken/bu adaların üzerine çıka varır, ve bu adalar bundan menkuldür: Santa Mavra, San Mikal, Eviko, Kopis, Firgal, Finoci, İzle Flores
13. And a Genoese kuke [a type of ship] coming from Flanders was caught in a storm. Impelled by the storm it came upon these islands, and in this manner these islands became known. And these islands are Santa Maria, San Miguel, Opico, Copras, Fayal, Graciosa?, Flores,
“Most of the names of the Azores are easily identifiable. They have retained the names given to them by the Portuguese…” (McIntosh, 28)
14– Rivayet ederler kim zamanı evvelde Sanvolrandan (Santo Brandan) derler bir papaz/yedi deryayı gezmiş derler. Mezbur bu baluğun üzerine uğramış/kuru yer sanıp baluk üzerine ot yakmışlar; baluğun sırtı kızıcak denize dalmış,/bunlar sandala koyulmuşlar, gemiye kaçmışlar. Bu ahval Portukal kâfirinden/zikrolunmaz. Kadîm Pappa Mondalardan [Mappa Mundi] menkuldür.
14. It is said that in ancient times a priest by the name of Sanvolrandan (Saint Brendan) traveled on the Seven Seas, so they say. The above-mentioned landed on this fish. They thought it was dry land and lit a fire upon this fish, when the fish’s back began to burn it plunged into the sea, they reembarked in their boats and fled to the ship. This event is not mentioned by the Portuguese infidels. It is taken from the ancient Mappae Mundi.
In the sixth century AD, it is said that Irish monk Brendan traveled a sea journey around the Atlantic Ocean. There have been celebrations for him in Ireland and people produced lots of legends and stories regarding his quest.
15 – Bu hurda adalara Undizivercine deyu ad koymuşlardır, yani on bir bikr demek olur.
15-To these small islands, they have given the name of Undizi Vergine. That is to say, the Eleven Virgins.
Barbura: Triz makos üç deliler demek olur/Barbura means three mads.
16-Ve bu adaya Antilya adası derler. Canavar ve tuti ve bakkam gayet çoktur,/veli imaret değildir. And this island they call the Island of Antilia. There are many monsters and parrots and much logwood. It is not inhabited.
Antillia is known as a phantom and legendary island in the Atlantic Ocean whose existence was disputed in the Early Modern Era.
17– Bu kenarları bu barça fırtına ile gelip düştük deyip durur/Adına Nikola di Cuvan derler. Hartisine yazmış ki bu ırmaklar kim/görünür ekseri hep altın toprağıdır. Suyu kaçtıktan sonra kum/içinden altın toprağını vafir devşirlermiş ; hartisinde …
17. This barge was driven upon these shores by a storm and remained where it fell. . . . Its name was Nicola di Giuvan [Juan de la Cosa]. On his map, it is written that these rivers which can be seen have for the most part gold [in their beds]. When the water had gone they collected much gold [dust] from the sand. On its map...
18-Portakalın fırtına bulup da bu diyara gelen barçası/budur. Tafsili kenarda yazılmıştır.
18-This is Portugal’s bark that came to this land with the storm. The detail is written on the corner.
19-Portukal kâfiri burdan gün batısı canibine geçmez./O canip hep İspanyanındır. Bunlar kavil etmiştir ki iki bin mil/Septe Boğazının günbatısı tarafında sınır etmişlerdir. Portukal ol/canibe geçmez, amma Hint canibi ve cenup canibi hep Portukalındır.
19. The Portuguese infidels do not go west of here. All that side belongs entirely to Spain. They have agreed that [a line] two thousand miles to the western side of the Strait of Gibraltar should be taken as a boundary. The Portuguese do not cross to that side but the Indian side and the southern side belong to the Portuguese.
The agreement refers to the Raya, or Line of Demarcation, according to the Treaty of Tordesillas (1494), according to which, all discoveries east of Raya (around Cape Verde Islands) were to belong to Portugal and west of the line were to belong to Spain.
20-Ve bu karaveleyi fırtına bulup geldi, bu adaya düştü; ismine/Nikola Cuvan derler. Ve bu adada vafir birer boynuzlu kâv çoktur./Ol sebepten bu cezirenin İzle (de) vaka derler, yani sığır adası demek olur. İzle de Veka
20-And this caravel having encountered a storm was driven upon this island. Its name was Nicola Giuvan. And on this island there are many oxen with one horn. For this reason they call this island Isle de Vacca, which means, Ox Island
Its location and place have been debated among scholars. (McIntosh, 30-31)
21– Emrye, Bomiste, Sigogo, Dösalo, Rosigo, Brava, Sen Nikola, İleçi, İlebiyanko, Sen Tiyono
Bu Karavelenin reisine Mesir Anton Cineviz derler, amma Portukalda/büyümüştür. Bir ün mezbur karavelesile fırtına bulup/gelmiş, bu cezirelere düşmüş ; vafir zencebil bulup bu ada/ları ol yazdı.
21. The admiral of this caravel is named Messir Anton the Genoese [Antonio da Noli], but he grew up in Portugal. One day the above-mentioned caravel encountered a storm, it was driven upon this island. He found much ginger here and has written about these islands.
In 1460, Antonio da Noli discovered some of the Cape Verde Islands and started colonizing them.
22 –a) Bu denize Bahri Mağrip derler, amma Efrenç tayfası Mar de İspanya derlerdi, yani İspanya Denizi
b) demek olur. Şimdidek bu isimlerle meşhurdu. Amma Kolonbo ki bu deryayı açmıştır ve bu
c) cezairi ol malûm etmiştir, dahi Portukal kâfiri ki Hint diyarın açtılar, bu cümle
d) birbirile ittifak ettiler kim işbu deryaya yeni isim vereler. Bu deryanın adını
e) Ovosano (Oseano) kodular, yani Sağ yumurta demek olur. Bundan evvel
f) fikirleri bu imiş ki bu deryanın haddü payanı olmaya, ötesi zulemat ola
g) Şimdi gördüler kim bunca kenar denizi kuşadıp durur; bu derya bir göl gibi ol-
h)duğu için Sağ yumurta deyu ad verdiler. Sah.
22. This sea is called the Western Sea (the Atlantic Ocean), but the Frank sailors call it the Mare d’Espagna. Which means the Sea of Spain. Up to now it was known by these names, but Colombo, who opened up this sea and made these islands known, and also the Portuguese, infidels who have opened up the region of Hind have agreed together to give this sea a new name. They have given it the name of Ovo Sano [Oceano] that is to say, sound egg. Before this it was thought that the sea had no end or limit, that at its other end was darkness. Now they have seen that this sea is girded by a coast, because it is like a lake, they have called it Ovo Sano.
23 – Kav de Santa Agostini, San Megali, San Françesko, Ve bu yerde bir boynuzlu kâv-olur ve hem bu şekilli canavarlar – olur.
23- [On the left] In this spot there are oxen with one horn, and also monsters in this shape.
24 – Bu canavarın yedi karış boyu/vardır, gözünün aralığı bir karıştır/amma selimi nefs imiş.
24. [On the right] These monsters are seven spans long. Between their eyes, there is a distance of one span. But they are harmless souls.
25-Bu diyar [Brezilya kıyıları] abadanlıktır ve beniadem çoktur: San Megali, San Françesko, Port Dali, Totel Sante, Abraklok, Kav Friyo, Sano Saneyro, Katino.

26-İl de Sare: Bu adalar ıssızdır amma bahar çoktur.
26-Il de Sare: These islands are deserted but spring is much.
“The source of the place-names Sara…is unknown…Possibly Sara is related to or derived from the Island of Sara, described by Edrisi in the twelfth century…” (McIntosh, 44)
27A-İle Verde, Trispoze, İstonasit, Sandani
There have been several discussions about the place and location of these islands.

28-This monster is called Sami.
29-Bu diyarın dağlarında bu şekilde canavarlar olurmuş./Ve yalı kenarında beniâdem çokmuş. Altun/madeninin nihayeti yoktur.
29- In the mountains of this region there are beasts in this shape and on the shores
are many men and no end of gold ore.
Piri Reis refers to cynocephaly (or dog-faced men) as a mythical creature in this identification.
30-Bu cezirelerde altun madeni varmış: İlde Viyole, İlde Desane, İzle Matos.
30-There are gold mines on these islands: Ilde Viyole, Ilde Desane, and Isles Matos.
Their places have been unknown and debated among scholars.
F1-Padişah-ı Kine (Ruler of Guinea)
This sultanate probably refers to the Songhai Empire (1460-1591) as the most significant state in West Africa. As for the sultan, it can be King Mohammad I (1494-1528) whose reign saw the biggest territorial extent of the Songhai.
F2-Merakiş Padişahı (the Sultan of Marrakesh)
At this time Hintata tribe controlled Marrakesh in Morocco and its domination drastically reduced to the surrounding area of Marrakesh.
