have died from ḥumma is discussed within the framework of the data in the sources cited. Most information from the sources used are transmissions of previous narrations. The following famous personalities of the Islamic period reported to have died of ḥumma were studied: Muhammad the prophet of Islam, Abū Bakr, Sulaymān b. ‘Abd al-Malik, al-Mahdī, al-Ma’mūn, Malik-Shah, Mahmud bin Malik-Shah, Ghiyath ad-Din Mas’ud, Qutb al-Din Mawdud, al-Mustadi, Al-Maliku’1-Aziz. The mentioned caliphs of the Medieval Muslim society, the Seljukian and Ayyubid sultans,
who were the most distinguished figures of their period, generally died in their 30’s and 40’s. It seems that these famous personalities, who are
said to have contracted ḥumma, could not be cured. This study also showed that, as in the medieval Islamic medical literature, the term ḥumma generally meant febrile illness- any of similar diseases characterized by high fever. The available data has been opened to discussion from several aspects: Which of the ḥumma cases discussed can be identified as malaria, smallpox or poisoning? Are there any clues about the contagiousness of the ḥumma? Whether the ḥumma cases discussed were acute or chronic diseases? Is there a relationship between fever and the environment in the cases in question? Has a relationship been established between ḥumma and social events in the texts examined? The cause-effect relationship found in deaths from ḥumma in the studied texts is discussed in detail.
Key Words: Fever, Middle Ages, Poisoning, Malaria, Islamic Medicine.
Tarihi Yarımada’nın sınırları içinde bulunan Eminönü, Sultanahmet, Beyazıt, Süleymaniye, Fener, Balat, Haseki, Cerrahpaşa, Samatya, Kumkapı, Edirnekapı, Aksaray, Zeyrek ve Vefa semtleri bizim de başlıca çalışma konumuz olmuştur. Ayrıca, tarihi surların Eyüp Sultan ve Zeytinburnu sınırlarında kesişmesi dolayısıyla bu semtlerde bulunan bazı eserler de örnek olarak çalışılmış ve kitaba alınmıştır.
noktası olması bakımından Osmaneli, eski adıyla Lefke, ayrı bir öneme
sahipti. Ancak, mikropların sebep olduğu bulaşıcı insan ve hayvan hastalıkları da ulaşım yollarıyla taşınarak yayılıyordu. 19. yüzyıl Osmanlı coğrafyasında en çok yayılarak salgınlar halinde seyreden ve en fazla kayba sebep olan hayvan hastalığı sığır vebasıydı. 1889 yılı sığır vebası salgını Lefke nahiyesi ve köylerinde de hüküm sürmüştü.
