SCIENCE HAS MANY Western and Eastern historical roots. All of these contributed to the body of academic literature. One of the most important aspects of scientific progress is educational institutions, including hospitals, schools, and libraries. Some of these institutions may offer an identity for a city, as well as contribute to its development. Süleymaniye Külliyesi is one such institution. Süleymaniye Külliyesi, established in the 16th century, contains many centers, including a mosque, surrounded by a hospital, school of medicine, central pharmacy, and library. It once served both the Ottoman Empire and the Turkish Republic. The school of medicine of this complex was the first school of medicine in the Ottoman period that functioned in coordination with the hospital and central pharmacy. The library contains many rare books and manuscripts. Currently, it is one of the richest centers in the field of oriental studies. We conclude that Süleymaniye Külliyesi, with its health-related elements and library, contributed to the development and progress of science and deserves to be cited in the literature of the Western world.
科学有着众多东西方历史根源。所有这些都为学术文献的主体做出了贡献。科学进步的最重要方面之一是教育机构，包括医院、学校和图书馆。其中一些机构可能为一个城市赋予特色，也有助于其发展。苏莱曼尼耶建筑群就是这样一个机构。建于16世纪的苏莱曼尼耶建筑群包含许多中心，包括一座清真寺，周围环绕着医院、医学院、中央药房和图书馆。它曾为奥斯曼帝国和土耳其共和国服务。这个建筑群的医学院是奥斯曼时期第一所与医院和中央药房协同运作的医学院。图书馆收藏了许多珍本书籍和手稿。目前，它是东方研究领域最丰富的中心之一。我们得出结论，苏莱曼尼耶建筑群及其与健康相关的元素和图书馆，为科学的发展和进步做出了贡献，值得在西方世界的文献中被引用。
