Zodiac on Earth: The Ecliptic on two sixteenth-century Ottoman World Maps
شماره ركورد

Abstract
Among the very limited number of Ottoman world maps made in the sixteenth century, two present a unique characteristic: they show the Ecliptic line as two straight segments, a configuration that I have not found on any other map. These two world maps are contained in two manuscript atlases produced in the Ottoman Empire in the second half of the sixteenth century. One of them is named after its presumed author, Ali Macar Re’is, dated 1567 (more precisely one of the portolan charts it contains is dated in the month of Safer of 975 AH) and currently located in the Topkapi Palace Library.1 The other one is part of an anonymous and undated atlas that Thomas D. Goodrich located in the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, USA, and named the Walters Sea Atlas.
