Ottoman Compass Translation
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
It's an Ottoman Compass.
But I can't find a history on it or a translation anywhere, and although it looks like Arabic and I speak a bit, I can't understand it.
Could anyone point me to a translation?

Hi there,
I can't help with a translation, but I may be able to fill you in and point you in the right direction.
I am almost 100% certain that isn't Arabic. I believe it to be Turkish Ottoman script.
I also believe that it has a name completely unrelated to the word "compass" in English.
I thought with that information, and the idea that this has become a scholarly pursuit, you might search in different places.
May I suggest starting with the contact form for the site on which you found this?

... Perhaps they would have the right name of this in Either Turkish or Arabic. With that information in hand, it may be no big deal to get what you want. Until the name is known, however, there is very little anyone here is likely to be able to help with.
