Mediterranean Nautical Cartography in Arabic and Ottoman Turkish: Islands or Gateways of Knowledge in the Sea of Transcultural and Translinguistic Translation Processes?

该项目研究两本阿拉伯语地中海航海图和伊斯兰神圣地理和计时补充材料地图集、两本阿拉伯语世界图以及一本十六世纪奥斯曼土耳其语地中海图的跨文化和跨语言翻译，突尼斯和奥斯曼帝国的海图制作者在各自的制作阶段进行的工作，导致了多语言和多元文化的对象。该项目询问在哪些领域的知识积累翻译，以及杂交过程发生。此外，探讨了技术，语言学，地理，数学，天文/占星术和艺术的方法和工具，与生产者和人民，他们可能合作。两个地图集，两个世界图表和地中海图表与早期的阿拉伯世界和区域地图，以及意大利和加泰罗尼亚航海图进行比较，目的是揭示地理知识及其可视化的变化和转变过程。在优先项目的方法中，亚洲翻译的政治和经济背景化，以及解释伊斯兰社会早期现代艺术和知识生产的新方法，将制定阿拉伯语和突厥语航海图和地图集的整体解释模型，旨在为调查地中海的航海图和地图集开辟新的研究视角（14 - 16世纪）。

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).
