In the 17th century an Ottoman traveler, Evliya Celebi, was inspired by a dream to embark on a journey across the Ottoman Empire. He traveled far and wide across Europe and North Africa and wrote extensively about his adventures in the Seyahatname. The Seyahatname, or “Book of Travels,” is the longest and most detailed travel account in Islamic (if not world) literature. It is a vast panorama of the Ottoman world in the mid-17th century. This article is concerned with Celebi’s description of several surgeries that he claimed to have witnessed in Vienna during the year 1665. He describes several procedures, the first and most detailed of which is a fascinating brain operation that seems to be a highly unusual procedure for the time. His impressions of Central European medicine, as viewed by a Muslim from the East, offer an unexplored perspective. We examine what his description tells us about the perceptions and images of surgery and medicine.
在 17 世纪，一位奥斯曼旅行家埃夫利亚·切莱比（Evliya Celebi）受到梦境的启发，开始穿越奥斯曼帝国的旅程。他在欧洲和北非各地旅行，并在他的《游记》（Seyahatname）中广泛描述了他的冒险经历。《游记》是伊斯兰（如果不是世界）文学中最长、最详细的旅行记录。它是 17 世纪中叶奥斯曼世界的全景图。本文关注的是切莱比在 1665 年维也纳期间声称目睹的几项手术的描述。他描述了几个程序，其中第一个也是最详细的是一个引人入胜的脑手术，这似乎是当时非常不寻常的程序。他对中欧医学的印象，作为一个来自东方的穆斯林的观点，提供了一个未被探索的视角。我们研究他的描述告诉我们关于手术和医学的看法和形象。
