Notes:

"The present collection features 70 rare consecutive issues from the journal's second publication era (1880-1897).... This second phase marked the journal's revival and its most sustained period of continuous publication. The journal's first period, printed in lithographic ta'liq script, holds particular significance for its pioneering role in Turkifying medical terminology, a deliberate intellectual stance against the prevailing French-language educational tradition of the period. This approach persisted for the journal's entire run. The second period of Vakayi-i Tıbbiye was printed in letterpress, formatted in two columns on yellow-colored paper, with each 8-page issue continuing the sequential numbering of the previous ones. Subscription to the journal was mandatory for all municipal physicians and veterinarians throughout the Ottoman territories, while pharmacists and surgeons were exempt from this requirement. Notably, pharmacists in the Hejaz and Harameyn provinces were not charged subscription fees. Another distinctive feature was that civil physicians and veterinarians paid only half the subscription rate (20 kurush) and were exempt from postage fees."-- https://khalkedonrarebooks.com/products/multiple-firsts-the-first-journal-the-first-medical-journal-in-turkish-literature-%D9%88%D9%82%D8%A7%DB%8C%D8%B9-%D8%B7%D8%A8%DB%8C%D9%87-vakayi-i-tibbiye-i-e-medical-events-sermuharriri-mehmed-fahri-ah-3-nisan-1296-3-kanunisani-1298-1880-1882-ce-nos-3-72-70-issues-of-266?variant=45313349517443

"This historically significant and groundbreaking publication traces its origins to the Ottoman Imperial School of Medicine (Mekteb-i Tıbbiye-i Şahane) in Istanbul, where its inaugural issue appeared on 25 March 1849. Under the leadership of Chief Physician Abdülhak Molla, Vakayi-i Tıbbiye marked the dawn of scientific periodicals in Turkey, remaining in circulation for two years and ten months in its first period. Medical historians document that Vakayi-i Tıbbiye was published in two distinct phases. The initial publication period (1849-1854) saw the release of 21 issues before the publication ceased operations due to administrative and financial constraints. Notably, these early issues were distributed through non-Muslim pharmacies across Istanbul."-- https://khalkedonrarebooks.com/products/multiple-firsts-the-first-journal-the-first-medical-journal-in-turkish-literature-%D9%88%D9%82%D8%A7%DB%8C%D8%B9-%D8%B7%D8%A8%DB%8C%D9%87-vakayi-i-tibbiye-i-e-medical-events-sermuharriri-mehmed-fahri-ah-3-nisan-1296-3-kanunisani-1298-1880-1882-ce-nos-3-72-70-issues-of-266?variant=45313349517443

Local Notes:

"The first Ottoman medical journal and the first periodical published in Turkish.... The journal’s articles contain numerous pioneering contributions to Turkish medical literature of the late Ottoman period. A significant portion consists of translated selections from leading French, German, and English medical journals, providing Ottoman physicians with direct access to contemporary European medical knowledge. It appears that Ottoman practitioners creatively synthesized these foreign publications with case studies from their own clinical experiences. In addition to articles indicating the emergence of experimental studies conducted on animals such as mice, guinea pigs, and monkeys in Europe, the journal also featured writings under the heading of 'medical topography' that focused on epidemiological and socio-cultural investigations carried out in cities like Burdur and Manastir."--Vendor description.
