abstract

There are few known Americana written in the sixteenth‑century Ottoman Empire. Not only are Ottoman works on the New World scarce, but they also enjoyed a limited circulation, to the point that they can appear to be completely isolated from each other. This article examines a short chronicle of the discovery of America dating back to the second half of the sixteenth century. In presenting the content of this previously unknown work, it will also try to identify its European sources and explore the cultural implications behind the editing efforts made by its anonymous compiler.
