EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Cauterisation for Toothache" takes us back in time to the year 1466. The image showcases a page from Ms Sup Turc 693 fol. 28v, a vellum manuscript composed by Charaf-ed-Din (1404-68) and housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. The artwork is an illustration from a Persian treatise on surgery called La Chirurgie Imperiale, which was written around 1300. It offers us a glimpse into the world of Arabic medicine during that era. The scene depicts a doctor performing cauterization as treatment for toothache on a patient. Charaf-ed-Din's intricate detailing and skillful brushwork bring this historical moment to life. We can almost feel the pain and discomfort of the patient while witnessing the expertise of the surgeon. This piece not only highlights medical history but also sheds light on cultural exchange between different regions during that time period. It represents both Islamic and Turkish influences in its composition. As we admire this remarkable work of art, let us appreciate how far we have come in dental care since then. This image serves as a reminder of our ancestors' ingenuity and resourcefulness when it came to finding solutions for ailments such as toothaches.
