Step-by-step explanation:

Mirat ul Memalik in English ("The Mirror of Countries") is a book written during the travels of Seydi Ali Reis in countries found in South Asia, Central Asia, and the Middle East in the year 1557.

We could rightly say that the target audience of this writing piece was specific to the Turkish society at the time because it was originally written in Turkic languages. For example, according to historical sources after the book's completion in 1557, Seydi Ali presented it to the Turkish sultan at the time.
