Abstract: (292 Views) |
The manuscript "Kitabcheh Vabā'iyyah" (Treatise on Cholera) was written by Mirza Mahmoud Khan Doctor, son of Abdul-Karim, known as Mo'tamid al-Hukamā (Trusted Physician), one of the physicians trained at Dār ul-Funun in modern medicine during the Qajar era (1796–1925). Two lithograph and typographic Persian editions of this manuscript were published in Kerman and are preserved in the National Library and Archives of Iran under the national bibliography number 1119352 in the Digital Resources System. This research adopts an analytical-critical approach using library-documentary methods. After reviewing and correcting the "Kitabcheh Vabā'iyyah", the collected data were analyzed to achieve the research objectives. The treatise is divided into two main sections: first, the preventive measures and conditions to be observed before the outbreak of cholera, and second, a brief description of the disease along with the necessary measures and treatments to be applied during infection. The symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of cholera are discussed in detail. This study attends to both scientific and literary correction of the manuscript.
