  • Medicinal Properties of Cannabis According to Medieval Manuscripts of Azerbaijan
    Medicinal Properties of Cannabis According to Medieval Manuscripts of Azerbaijan Farid U. Alakbarov ABSTRACT. Azerbaijani people have rich and ancient traditions in the medicinal use of cannabis. The traditional methods of its application are described in the medieval Azerbaijani manuscripts in the field of medi- cine and pharmacognosy written in Old Azerbaijani, Persian, Arabic and date back to the 9-18th centuries AD. As a result of these studies, it was established that various parts (the roots, resin, leaves and seeds) of Cannabis sativa L. were widely used in traditional medicine of medi- eval Azerbaijan. Recently, a number of forgotten recipes of the medi- cines containing cannabis have been deciphered. These recipes of the Middle Ages may be applied in modern medicine once they have been experimentally and clinically tested.

Folk medicine has a very ancient history in the history of our people's welfare and culture. In the life of the Turkish people, it is understood as curative (turkechare) medicine. The lexical system belonging to folk medicine, according to its purely national character, is also national. This idea is also confirmed by ancient scientific sources. It is interesting to note that in the majority of medical publications written in the Middle Ages, is encountered the following sentence referring to the prophet: There are two sciences: body science and religion science. As you can see, the science of the body is mentioned before the religious sciences. Hasan Effendi explains this in his book, “Gayatul-mutareqqi be tedbiri kulli-merez”: "They regarded the science of the body primarily because it is impossible to worship if the body is not healthy" [1, p.16].

Ibn Sina, Razi, Isa al-Raqiif, Mahmud Ibn Ilyas, Kafiyaddin Omar Osman, Nasiraddin Tusi and many other Azerbaijani scholars and writers at various times play an important role in the development of medicine and medicine in Western Europe. Although it is known from the history that advances in the world, thanks to scientific discoveries and new technologies, have led to general progress, it has also created various problems for human society and the natural environment, which have to be used in bioethics since the middle of the 20th century to find solutions. appeared. The fact that modern bioethical principles work in such a way proves that these rules and principles are based on years of experience, not new ones. The moral and ethical values of the medieval Oriental and Azerbaijani medical scientists touch upon the issues and considerations of the principles of modern bioethics and medical law, and the fundamental principles used in their solution. Thus, the historical studies prove once again that most of the problems that modern bioethics and medical law, nowadays known as a new field in the modern world of science, have been engaged in and begun to study in the Middle Ages, including medicine and medicine in Azerbaijan.

  • On the Modern Politicization of the Persian Poet Nezami Ganjavi
    Official Digitized Version by Victoria Arakelova; with errata fixed from the print edition ON THE MODERN POLITICIZATION OF THE PERSIAN POET NEZAMI GANJAVI YEREVAN SERIES FOR ORIENTAL STUDIES Edited by Garnik S. Asatrian Vol.1 SIAVASH LORNEJAD ALI DOOSTZADEH ON THE MODERN POLITICIZATION OF THE PERSIAN POET NEZAMI GANJAVI Caucasian Centre for Iranian Studies Yerevan 2012 Siavash Lornejad, Ali Doostzadeh On the Modern Politicization of the Persian Poet Nezami Ganjavi Guest Editor of the Volume Victoria Arakelova The monograph examines several anachronisms, misinterpretations and outright distortions related to the great Persian poet Nezami Ganjavi, that have been introduced since the USSR campaign for Nezami’s 800th anniversary in the 1930s and 1940s. The authors of the monograph provide a critical analysis of both the arguments and terms put forward primarily by Soviet Oriental school, and those introduced in modern nationalistic writings, which misrepresent the background and cultural heritage of Nezami. Outright forgeries, including those about an alleged Turkish Divan by Nezami Ganjavi and falsified verses first published in Azerbaijan SSR, which have found their way into Persian publications, are also in the focus of the authors’ attention. An important contribution of the book is that it highlights three rare and previously neglected historical sources with regards to the population of Arran and Azerbaijan, which provide information on the social conditions and ethnography of the urban Iranian Muslim population of the area and are indispensable for serious study of the Persian literature and Iranian culture of the period. ISBN 978-99930-69-74-4 The first print of the book was published by the Caucasian Centre for Iranian Studies in 2012.
