Özet

Bīmāristān (hospital) of Mayyāfāriqīn which was one of the oldest hospitals in Anatolia was built during Marwānids' period [983-1085]. Amir Naşīr al-Dawla [r. 1011-1061] had the hospital constructed with Zāhid al-'Ulamā's suggestion and he devolved it properties for pious purposes, as well. It is possible to say that the dates 414 [1023/24] and the first day of Shawwal 417 [15 November 1026] given by Ibn al-Azraq and Ibn al-Matrān were the beginning of the construction and the start of services of the hospital, respectively. During research, no record was obtained supporting claims in the literature that the hospital built in the Marwānids' era and the one in the Artuqids' era were different. So it seems feasible to propound that Mayyāfāriqīn Hospital had been built by Nasīr al-Dawla and it stood and provided services during Artuqids' era and its waqfs were rearranged in Najm al-Dīn Alpī period.
