When Piri Reis sailed around the Mediterranean, mapping every inch of coastline, it was the height of the Renaissance. The Renaissance, literally meaning “rebirth,” was a period of revival of classical thoughts in economics, politics, and art, which will be the center of attention for this episode. From vivid depictions of the Piazza San Marco to the fountains of lions, Piri reflects a surprising Ottoman fascination with Italian Renaissance art.

This episode covers the city of Alexandria’s contributions to the Ottoman empire's economic and trading success through the eyes of the esteemed cartographer Piri Reis. Through exploring Piri’s drawings and vivid descriptions of Alexandria, we explore the ways in which he depicts the city as the trading superpower in the Mediterranean and the Old World.
