Domesday Book, now held at The National Archives, Kew, in South West London, is the record of the great survey of much of England and parts of Wales completed in 1086. The survey was executed for William I of England (William the Conqueror): “While spending the Christmas time of 1085 in Gloucester, William had deep speech with his counsellors and sent men all over England to each shire to find out what or how much each landholder had in land and livestock, and what it was worth”. Illustrated throughout with facsimile reproductions of pages from the original Domesday Book, though missing the two folding coloured maps of Britain and Sussex. Complete in three volumes. In cloth bindings with presentation slipcase. Externally smart, though lightly bumped in places, and some slight dampstaining to one front board. Slipcase has a few marks and some light rubbing but is otherwise smart. Pages are bright and clean. Fine – Very well preserved copy showing very little wear. Only one or two minor faults, really a very attractive copy. Quite a wide term meaning no major faults but probably several smaller ones. Often expected given the age of the book, but still a respectable copy. Meaning not very good. Some more serious faults as will. Be described in the condition report under’condition. Good Only – Meaning one or more faults that could really do with repair. As with good only above but with other faults. Leaving a compromised copy even after repair. Really bad and possibly seriously incomplete. We only sell books in this condition where their rarity or value makes them. Attractive none the less. Major defects will be described. Please ask for details and conditions. Please note we cannot accept USD cheques.

Original Date: 16th Century. HUGE Size: 33 x 23 x 8 cm (13×9 inches). Weight: 5 Kilograms (10 lbs). Publication Type: Facsimile Edition. A very rare and fine illustrated FACSIMILE EDITION manuscript of the Kitab-i Bahriye based on the original version of the great admiral, geographer and cartographer Piri Reis d. The Kitab-i Bahriye (Book of navigation or maritime matters) is an important portolano or book of sailing directions. The charts are based on the tradition of the isolario, introduced by Cristoforo Buondelmonte in 1420 and developed later by Bartolommeo dalli Sonetti and Benedetto Bordone. This work provides important information to naval commanders to enable them to navigate safely around the Mediterranean. Each chapter describes landmarks and the layout of harbours, warns of dangerous rocks, shoals or reefs, and occasionally includes distances or depths. Along with anecdotes and local histories, Piri Reis describes winds and informs the sailor where to find shelter and fresh water, together with military information regarding castles and the fortifications of ports. Manuscript on paper in Ottoman Turkish script in black ink with titles in red ink. 121 numbered hand-coloured manuscript MAPS!! (7 of them are double-page). Bound in Turkish brown morocco with folding flap. Sides with blind-tooled central floral medallion and border. WHAT IS A FACSIMILE EDITION?
