Özet

Objectives: The aim of this study is to review the kidney and bladder disease sections in Emir Celebi's book called Anmudhaj al-tibb by presenting and discussing his own experiences with these issues. Materials and Methods: A copy of Anmudhaj al-tibb registered in Istanbul Suleymaniye Manuscript Library, Mihrisah Sultan Collection, no. 342/1, and a printed copy of al-Mujaz fi al-tibb in Arabic, as well as a copy of the Turkish translation of this work by Sururi registered in Ankara National Library, A1437, were examined. We examined the findings in light of the literature. Results and Conclusion: We discovered that the sections on kidney and bladder diseases in Emir Celebi's Anmudhaj al-tibb are actually Turkish translations of relevant sections of Ibn al-Nafis's al- Mujaz fi al-tibb. In some of these chapters, Emir Celebi has added his own observations and experiences, whereas, in others, he has included quotations from physicians such as Ibn Masawayh and Abu Bakr Mu.ammad ibn Zakariyya al-Razi. One of the most intriguing findings was the drug Yad-Allah, which Emir Celebi claimed was very effective in reducing the kidney stone of the Grand Admiral of the Ottoman Navy Receb Pasha. According to Emir Celebi, Galen and Aflinus [?] both praised this medicine in their own works. However, it has been discovered that Yad-Allah, as described in the literature, is a drug defined by Philagrius.
