"Hegire 870: Unveiling the Ancient Medical Practices" Step back in time to the year 870 and explore the fascinating world of medical treatments through the vellum pages of Ms Sup Turc 693. This ancient manuscript provides us with a glimpse into the intriguing practices that were employed during this era. In folio 96v, we witness an inspection of the male urethra, showcasing how physicians sought to understand and treat urinary ailments. The meticulous attention given to such delicate procedures is truly remarkable. Moving on to folio 46v, we encounter a cauterization technique used for leprosy lesions. It's astonishing to see how our ancestors attempted to combat this debilitating disease using methods that may seem unconventional by today's standards. Folio 95 introduces us to a surgical puncture of the abdominal cavity for aspiration purposes. This procedure demonstrates early attempts at alleviating internal discomfort and highlights their determination in finding solutions even amidst limited resources. Toothache sufferers will find interest in folio 28v as it depicts cauterization as a remedy for dental pain. Witnessing these measures reminds us of humanity's enduring quest for relief from physical distress throughout history. Continuing our journey through time, folio 35 reveals an operation specifically designed for cauterization purposes. The intricate details captured within this page serve as evidence of skilled hands working towards healing those who sought their aid. A rather sensitive topic arises in folio 76v where an operation for castration is depicted. While difficult to comprehend from our modern perspective, it offers insight into societal norms and beliefs surrounding gender identity during that period. Turning our attention towards dermatological concerns, folio 125 showcases treatments aimed at boils and warts removal. These remedies remind us that skin conditions have plagued humans since ancient times and efforts were made then too, seeking resolution.
