Abstract: (454 Views) |
The surviving of the book “Tahqiq va Chegunegi-ye Maraz-e Vaba va Ilaj-e An” translated by Ibrahim Monshizadeh and dating to the Qajar period, is held in the National Digital Resources System of the National Library and Archives of Iran under national bibliography number 21520. This study was conducted using an analytical-descriptive approach and library-based research methods. To achieve its objectives, the text was reread and corrected, and the resulting information was analyzed. The content of the treatise can be divided into three parts: first, an account of how the disease entered Iran and spread in different regions; second, an explanation of how cholera is contracted; and third, methods of treatment and cure. In the introduction, the study briefly discusses cholera during the Qajar period and introduces the translator of the work. It then presents a scholarly correction and fluent rereading of the book. The findings show that the importance of this work lies not only in its reflection of cholera as a disease, but also in its introduction of modern medical concepts such as microbes and disinfection, as well as the shift from individual treatment to public health and the role of government in this field. For this reason, the text can be considered one of the important sources and a valuable document for understanding the level of acceptance of modern knowledge and the management of health crises, as well as how society at that time confronted cholera in Iran during that period. |
