Soranus’ Text “On Signs of Fractures”

Year 2018, , 13 - 30, 28.12.2018

Abstract








    Soranus, a famous physician of Ephesus, practiced medicine in
Rome at the time of the emperors Trajan (98-117 AD) and Hadrian (117-
138 AD) and wrote approximately twenty books. Of all these surviving
books in ancient Greek, Gynaikeia/Peri gynaikei
ōn pathōn, his treatise
on women’s diseases, obstetrics and pediatrics, is considered the most
important one. Soranus’ text On Signs of Fractures (Peri s
ēmeiōn
katagmat
ōn) is generally accepted as an excerpt from a large work, On
Surgery (Kheirourgoumena). This text comprises twenty four brief
chapters in which the signs of fractures are organized from the head to
the foot. The chapters 1-9 are related to the types of cranial fractures
while the chapter 10 deals with the types of fractures in other parts of the
body and the remaining chapters are on the fractures from the nose to
the ankle bone. In this study, we aim first to give a brief introduction on
Soranus’ life, then to present Soranus’ chapters related to the signs of
fractures which to the best of our knowledge, have no English translation
and to evaluate his classification of cranial and general fractures in the
chapters 1-10 within the context of ancient medicine, and finally to 
mention the probable influence of his classification on the medical
writers of the Golden Age of Islam through Paulus Aegineta.

Soranus’ Text “On Signs of Fractures”

Abstract




    Efesli Soranus, Roma İmparatorları Traianus (İS 98-117) ve
Hadrianus (
İS 117-138) dönemlerinde Roma’da yaşamış ve yaklaşık yirmi
eser yazm
ış ünlü bir hekimdir. Tıp alanındaki en önemli eseri kadın
hastal
ıkları üzerine yazdığı Peri gynaikeiōn pathōn’dur. Kırık Belirtileri
(Peri s
ēmeiōn katagmatōn) başlıklı bölümün ise daha geniş bir kitap olan
Cerrahi (Kheirourgoumena) adl
ı eserin bir parçası olduğu düşünülmektedir.
K
ırık Belirtileri klasik olarak kafadan başlayarak sırayla ayağa kadar kırık
belirtilerinin ele al
ındığı toplam yirmi dört kısa bölümden oluşmaktadır.
Soranus, ilk dokuz bölümde kafatas
ında yer alan kırık tiplerine, onuncu
bölümde ise genel olarak k
ırıkların sınıflandırılmasına yer vermiştir. On
birinci bölümden itibaren s
ırasıyla burundan ayağa kadar oluşan kırık
belirtilerini ele alm
ıştır. Yirmi dört bölümün tamamında yanlızca belirtiler
aktar
ılmakta, tedavi yöntemlerine hiç değinilmemektedir. Bu çalışmada ilk
olarak, Soranus hakk
ında kısa bir girişin ardından Kırık Belirtileri ile ilgili
bilgiler sunulmu
ştur. İkinci olarak bildiğimiz kadarıyla İngilizce çevirisi
olmayan ilgili bölüm çal
ışma içinde sunulmuştur. Son olarak Soranus’un
kafatas
ındaki ve genel kırık tiplerine ilişkin yapmış olduğu sınıflandırmanın
yer ald
ığı ilk on bölüm, Hippokrates, Celsus, Heliodorus, Galenus ve
Aeginal
ı Paulus gibi antik dönemin ünlü hekimlerinin konuyla ilgili
yazd
ıklarıyla karşılaştırılıp, Paulus’un aracılığıyla İslam tıbbına etkisine
k
ısaca değinilmiştir.
