Bahriye bears two different dates : 1520 (Arabic 927) 1525 (Arabic 932). The first version of it received popularity among the contemporary seamen and was copied out to be used in the fleet.
The other version is the one that was presented to Suleyman after the author made new additions to it. Neither of the original copies have been found as yet. The existing copies in the libraries are later versions of these.
