This project studies transcultural and translinguistic translations in two Arabic atlases of Mediterranean nautical charts and additional material on Islamic sacred geography and timekeeping, two Arabic world charts, as well as an Ottoman Turkic chart of the Mediterranean of the sixteenth century, which the Tunisian and Ottoman producers of the charts undertook in the respective phases of production and which led to the composition of the multilingual and multicultural objects. The project asks in which areas of knowledge accumulation translations, as well as processes of hybridization took place. Furthermore, explores the technical, philological, geographical, mathematical, astronomical/astrological and artistic methods and tools with which the producers worked and the people with whom they possibly cooperated. The comparison of the two atlases, the two world charts and the Mediterranean chart with earlier Arabic world and regional maps, as well as Italian and Catalan nautical charts is undertaken with the goal to uncover processes of change and transformation of geographical knowledge and its visualization. Embedded in the methodologies of the Priority Program, the political and economic contextualization of translations in Asia, and new approaches to interpreting early modern art and knowledge production in Islamicate societies, a holistic interpretive model for Arabic and Turkic nautical charts and atlases shall be formulated that is meant to open up new research perspectives for investigating nautical charts and atlases of the Mediterranean (14th-16th centuries).

本项目研究了两本阿拉伯语地中海海图地图集的跨文化翻译和翻译，以及关于伊斯兰神圣地理和计时的额外材料，两本阿拉伯世界海图，以及一份16世纪奥斯曼突厥语地中海海图，这些海图由突尼斯和奥斯曼的海图制作者在各自的制作阶段完成，并最终形成了多语言和多元文化的作品。该项目询问在哪些领域的知识积累翻译，以及杂交的过程发生。此外，探讨技术，语言学，地理，数学，天文/占星术和艺术的方法和工具，与生产者工作和他们可能合作的人。将两幅地图集、两幅世界海图和地中海海图与早期的阿拉伯世界和地区地图以及意大利和加泰罗尼亚海图进行比较，目的是揭示地理知识及其可视化的变化和转变过程。嵌入在优先计划的方法，亚洲翻译的政治和经济背景，以及解释伊斯兰社会早期现代艺术和知识生产的新方法中，应制定阿拉伯和突厥海图和地图集的整体解释模型，旨在为调查海图和地中海地图集（14 -16世纪）开辟新的研究视角。
