Sažetak
The paper aims to explore the role of the early modern cartographic decorative and imagological elements, used for practical navigation (e.g., orientation), as well as carriers of ideological/political/cultural or any other symbolic message. The artistic features of the cartographic content on charts of various provenance (Venetian on one hand and Ottoman on the other) of the Adriatic Sea, primarily compass roses or graphical element of sailing-boats, saints, animals or (terrestrial) landscape markers were correlated in order to reveal the diversity of messages they communicate. However, a short overview of the subjecy indicates a confronting narrative of the two distinct state cartographies on the Adriatic in the time of the Sultan Suleiman el Kanuni, the Ottoman of Piri Reis and the Venetian one of the Italian famous isolario- makers. Also, the research provides insights into the elements of collaborative and shared mapmaking practices.
