Özet
Within Ottoman cartography, the maps of Piri Reis (1470-1553) are more widely known than the miniature maps of Matrakci Nasuh (c.1480-1564). The maps of Piri Reis are important in the history of marine cartography and Matrakci's miniatures are valuable in terms of landscape cartography. This paper examines the miniatures of Istanbul, Galata, Konya and Kutahya, which were designed by Matrakci Nasuh in his own style. Landmarks, such as mosques and towers, shown in the miniatures were compared with modern maps and Google Earth images. In addition, the miniatures were examined in terms of their planimetric and topological accuracy. The results indicate that the planimetric accuracy of the miniatures was poor, but their topological accuracy was good.
