For students of early modern manuscript cultures, paratextual components are indispensable in inferring the ways in which people read, studied, and copied a codex. However, Ottoman manuscripts of medicine and healing have not been studied extensively by taking into account how their readers engaged with those texts. This article focuses on the entangled world of healing in eighteenth century Ottoman manuscript culture by using paratexts that connect widely circulated codices of the era to one another and demonstrates that boundaries between scholarly and popular medicine, or alchemy and medicine, were blurry for some readers. Moreover, examples of contributions and interventions from copyists and previous owners of manuscripts reveal the necessity to better understand these figures, other than medical professionals, who had an impact on the reception of medical texts.

It is no wonder that plague is almost always present in historical sources such as travelogues and memoirs that deal with late Byzantine and Ottoman Istanbul to differing extents; ever since the Black Death broke out in the fourteenth century, the city had to live with it. During the early nineteenth century, plague was a “faraway,” dangerous, wearisome, and unignorable affliction for the Europeans who would visit Istanbul, where epidemics had been appearing in waves. The perceived severity of this “affliction” was increased in view of the fact that plague had subsided in Western Europe nearly a century earlier. In the early nineteenth-century European accounts examined in this study, it is chiefly in Galata-Pera that the landscape of disease, consisting of the patients, “healers,” “consolers,” hospitals, the fearful, the careless, and the remedy-seekers, can be viewed. This study looks at how these elements were perceived in the context of urban life right before the “European” district of Ottoman Istanbul rose to prominence.
