Information on the New World in the Ottoman Empire during the sixteenth century is rare. There are few Ottoman maps depicting it, and little, if anything, is said of it in the general geographic works of the period. There is one small book that devotes two thirds of its contents to the subject, Tarih-i Hind-i garbi (A History of the India of the West), also known as Tarih-i Yeni Dunya and Hadis-i nev (A History of the New World, The New Event). Also found in manuscript copies are three rare mappa mundi that include the New World. The dissertation is a translation of the text and a study of the sources of the information and maps. There is also a discussion of the Ottoman Empire as well as lists of words from European texts and translations of marginalia. Tarih-i Hind-i garbi is not a great book, it is not even great geography or history. It is a very unusual book, however, in that in Ottoman literature up into the nineteenth century it is unique in tow respects: one, in being so heavily based upon European material and, two, in being about the Americas, indeed about non-Islamic lands. It shows that information could pass from Europe into the Ottoman Empire and be accepted and used. Perhaps we shall learn in time that there was more of this than is now evident. At present, however, this book retains its uniqueness.
