EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable historical moment captured on vellum in 1466. Titled "Cauterisation of leprosy lesions" the image is part of Ms Sup Turc 693 fol. 46v, an ancient Persian treatise on surgery called La Chirurgie Imperiale. The artist behind this masterpiece is Charaf-ed-Din, a renowned figure from the Arab world who lived between 1404 and 1468. The artwork can be found at the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. Intriguingly, this illustration provides insight into medical practices during that era. It depicts a doctor performing cauterization to treat leprosy lesions, shedding light on dermatology and health care approaches prevalent at the time. The composition itself is visually striking, with vivid colors and meticulous attention to detail. The nudity depicted serves as an authentic representation of medical procedures conducted during that period. Charaf-ed-Din's work not only highlights his artistic prowess but also demonstrates his expertise as a surgeon and scholar. This manuscript holds immense value for its contribution to medical history and our understanding of Islamic medicine in Turkey and Iran during the Ottoman Empire. As we gaze upon this photograph print by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness an essential moment in healthcare history—a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance against illness throughout centuries past.
