TI  - Did Andreas Vesalius’s De Humani Corporis Fabrica and/or Juan Valverde’s Historia De La Composicion Del Cuerpo Humano Really Influence the Anatomy Knowledge in the Ottoman Empire? A Preliminary Study on Shams al-Dīn ʿItāqī’s Tashrīh al-Abdān*
AB  - Aim of this study was to determine whether Vesalius and Valverde influenced Shamsal-Dīn ʿItāqī considering the figures and several statements in Tashrīḥ al-Abdān waTarjamān Qibāla Faylasūfān. The statements and figures in illustrated copies of ʿItāqī’sbook were examined and compared to those in Galen’s, Avicenna’s, Vesalius’s, andValverde’s works, then the findings were evaluated. ʿItāqī’s book contains some figuresonly from Vesalius and/or Valverde’s works, but there is no new explanation relatedto issues such as the mandible, the sacrum, the rete mirabile, and the uterus. TheLatin edition of Valverde’s book published in 1607 was probably the source of theWestern-originated illustrations in the manuscript Hüsrev Paşa, Nr. 464 and of all theWestern-based illustrations, except for the female figure in the manuscript of IstanbulUniversity, Turkish Manuscripts, TY 2662. Spanish and/or Italian and/or Latin(1589) editions of Valverde’s book were the sources of most of the Western-originatedillustrations, except the human skeleton figure in the manuscript of Prof. Uzluk’spersonal collection. The information given by the works of Vesalius and Valverde has not influenced the explanations of ʿItāqī. ʿItāqī wrote his book according to theclassical anatomical knowledge in the Islamic world of his era and he added EasternandWestern-originated figures to his book to support/strengthen his statements.Or ʿItāqī work Tasrīḥ al-Abdān originally contained no illustrations. However, later,scribes/copiers added Eastern- and Western-originated anatomical figures to the bookto support/strengthen statements at different times.
