CALL FOR PAPERS

 

HISTORY OF MEDICINE - ISTANBUL, SEPTEMBER 1-6, 2002

 

The next Congress of the International Society for the History of Medicine

will be held in Istanbul, September 1-6 2002. Its main topics will be, among

others, " Medieval medicine " , " Medicine in the Near East through history " and

" The relation between Turkish medicine and the medicine of Eastern and

Western Worlds " .

 

In this context, I will organize a panel on the following topic:

 

Medicine and inter-cultural exchanges:

Byzantium, the Arabic World, the Ottoman Empire

 

The panel will be devoted to the circulation of medical knowledge in the

Eastern Mediterranean during the Late Middle Ages, especially during the

15th and 16th centuries in the Balkans and Asia minor, with a particular

attention to Constantinople. The focus will be on the channels of the

transfer, its places and actors, together with its impact on knowledge, that

is, the transformation of medicine due to its passage from one culture to

another.

 

Contributions based on the analysis of primary sources (including the

reports of Western diplomats and explorers) are most welcome. Comparative

work would be particularly appreciated. Papers could deal with topics like

texts and translations, books and libraries, teaching, sanitary structures,

patronage or, and for example, treatment of diseases.

 

Please, send proposed title, first abstract, together with full name and

affiliation by end of March 2001 to atouwaide.

A Second announcement will be published ca. April 15, 2001.
