Biographical notes

Born in Konya, Ḥācı Paşa was educated in Cairo where he studied the religious sciences with the famous Hanafi scholar al-Bābartī (ca. 1310-1384) and medicine at the Manṣūriyya medical complex. In 1370 [1370 CE] he travelled to Ayasuluk in the western Aegean region of Anatolia and entered the service of the Aydınid ruler, Faḫreddīn ʿİsā Bey (r. ca. 760s-789/1360s-1389). Under ʿİsā Bey, Ḥācı Paşa served as qadi, madrasa professor, and court physician, and authored medical texts and religious works. We know nothing about Ḥācı Paşa’s whereabouts and activities following Bayezid I’s deposition of the Aydınid ruler, ʿİsā Bey in 1389 AH [1389 CE]. Although we do not know the date of Ḥācı Paşa’s death, he continued to compose works well into the early years of Murad II’s reign.

Title

Shifāʾ al-asqam wa dawāʾ al-ālām

شفاء الاسقام و دواء الالام

Notes

Composed in 1380 [1380 CE] for Faḫreddīn ʿİsā Bey (r. ca. 760s-789/1360s-1389) of Ayasuluk, the Shifā’ al-asqam wa dawā’ al-ālām is Ḥācı Paşa’s best known medical work and exists in many manuscripts. The content of the Shifā’ al-asqam reveals similiarities with Ibn Sīnā’s Qanūn fī’l-ṭibb, albeit in abbreviated form and likewise reflects the structure as his earlier work, al-Taʿlīm fī ʿilm al-ṭibb: it consists of four maqāla, or discourses, beginning with an overview of the theoretical aspects of humoral medicine, touching upon the particular characteristics of each organ and body part, and the symptons of disorders and illnesses connected with them. The second maqāla covers simple drugs, drawing mainly on Ibn Sīnā and Ibn al-Bayṭār’s al-Jāmi‘ li-mufradāt al-adwiyya, and the third maqāla discusses the treatment of illnesses, beginning with the most common and basic illnesses, and proceeding according to each organ, limb or body part. Illnesses that affect the whole bodily system are dealt with in the fourth maqāla, among which are fever-inducing conditions, leprosy, the plague and rabies; orthopedic treatments for broken bones and dislocations; and conditions requiring surgical intervention, such as cataract surgery, kidney stones, boils, tumors and other swellings that require surgical removal. Treatments for systemic problems such as hair loss and dermatological disorders are likewise provided. Two manuscripts of the work were copied by Ḥācı Paşa’s student, Yūsuf b. Muhammad b. Osman while Ḥācı Paşa was still alive.
