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

Münteḫāb-i şifā’

منتخب شفاء

Notes

Ḥācı Paşa’s Münteḫāb-i şifā’ is a simplified, abbreviated and vernacularized version of his Arabic medical works, generally following the structure of Ibn Sînâ’s Qânûn. This practical therapeutic compendium is meant to assist those who are not expert in medicine in the absence of a trained physician, as Ḥācı Paşa states in the introduction. The work consists of three sections or baḫş: 1) a brief summary of medical theory in one folio followed by a discussion of regimen sanitatis, or the maintenance of health, with advice on diet, exercise and rest, sleeping and waking, repletion and excretion, as well as bathing, temperate use of hot springs, sexual relations, excesses, convalescing, pregnancy, drug treatment, bloodletting, steam therapies, and the interpretation of good and bad symptoms. Section two discusses the different humoral characteristics of and medicinal treatments provided by basic food such as breads, meat, oils, milk, yogurt, cheese, grains and seeds, dried fruits (figs and dates), soups, and sweets. The bulk of the work, however, falls in section three which provides sixty-two sections on different diseases, illnesses, and disorders, following the traditional head-to-toe order and giving their causes, symptoms and treatment with medicinal substances (mu‘ālece). Recipes for different ma‘cûn (electuary) are provided as well as information on bloodletting.

Title

Teshīl fī’ṭ-ṭibb

Notes

According to A. Süheyl Ünver, Ḥācı Paşa compiled the Teshīl in 1408 [1408 CE], when he no longer had the support of a patron. Known sometimes under the name of Teysīr, the Teshīl is an abbreviated version of the author’s Münteḫab-i şifāʾ, and its conciseness may explain the its greater popularity vis-à-vis the Münteḫab-i şifāʾ. The Teshīl retains, with minor modifications, more or less the same introduction as that of the Münteḫab-i şifāʾ, adopting the same structure of three sections (baḫş), and much of the same wording throughout the text. The Teshīl ends abruptly, indicating that Ḥācı Paşa may have never completed it.
