There has been a continuing misconception for almost three centuries since the transmission of variolation from Turkey (actually the Ottoman Empire) to England that this was a practice of the Turkish Muslims. There are many sources of cogent evidence that variolation in the 18th century in the Ottoman Empire was opposed by Muslims due to their religious beliefs. This article uses cultural anthropology in its analysis of the reasons for the misconception.
自人痘接种法从土耳其(实际上是奥斯曼帝国)传入英国近三个世纪以来,一直存在一种误解,即认为这是土耳其穆斯林的一种做法。有许多确凿的证据表明,由于宗教信仰,18世纪奥斯曼帝国的穆斯林反对人痘接种法。本文运用文化人类学分析了产生这种误解的原因。
