Summary

[edit]
Description
English: en:Marseilles in en:France on the Kitab-ı Bahriye (Book of Navigation) of en:Piri Reis

This map is not that accurate and has serious deviations from the real world:

  • On the left the mouth of the en:Rhone (it might have changed quite a lot since then) and the surrounding towns.
  • Then in somewhat false orientation the chained harbour of Marsailles (truly the harbour opens in western direction),
  • The cliff cape south of Marsailles is close to reality even if not perfectly correct.

Attention: from now on several coast areas were not documented, most missing in modern terms of view is the famous natural en:Bay of Ciotat, but a few not that small islands are missing as well, further en:Cassis, en:La Ciotat, en:Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer and en:Bandol might be missing as well.

All above is stated under the aspect of not being a translation from the original card material inscriptions but from comparison with reference maps and knowledge of the true location.
