EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Ms Sup Turc 693 fol. 110v Midwife operating on a hermaphrodite" takes us back to the year 1466 and offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of medical history. Created by Charaf-ed-Din, an esteemed Persian artist from the 15th century, this vellum artwork is housed in the prestigious Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. The image portrays a skilled midwife delicately performing surgery on a hermaphrodite patient. It is part of a larger collection known as La Chirurgie Imperiale, which translates to "Imperial Surgery" and was composed around 1300. This treatise on surgery provides valuable insights into Arabic medicine during that era. Charaf-ed-Din's illustration beautifully captures the intricate details of this surgical procedure while showcasing his mastery as both an artist and surgeon. The composition highlights elements such as sage femme (midwifery), Turkish influence, Islamic culture, Ottoman heritage, and Iranian traditions. As we observe this historical moment frozen in time, we are reminded of how far medical practices have evolved over centuries. This artwork serves as a testament to human curiosity and our relentless pursuit of knowledge in understanding the complexities of our bodies. Through its vivid depiction and rich symbolism, this print invites us to appreciate not only the artistic brilliance but also the significant contributions made by ancient civilizations towards advancing medical science.
