Sultan Suleiman I (1494-1566), known as “Suleiman the Magnificent”, ruled over the #OttomanEmpire at its zenith and enjoyed numerous victories over the Turks’ enemies both in the West and the East. The Sultan’s first campaign against the Persians in the Ottoman-Safavid War of 1532-1555 is documented in the magnificently illuminated Beyan-ı Menazil-i Sefer-i Irakeyn-i Sultan Süleyman Han or “Chronicle of Stages of the Campaign of Iraq and Persia of Sultan Suleiman Khan”. Completed in 1537, it is the work of the great polymath Matrakçı Nasuh (ca. 1480 - ca. 1564), who paid attention not only to the changing of the seasons and landscapes but also depicted 107 landscapes and cityscapes with great detail.
