The school, originally named “Galata Sarayi Enderun Mektebi" (Galata Palace Imperial School) is one of the oldest establishments of its kind in the world. Last year, the school proudly celebrated it’s 150th year. After providing valuable services to the Ottoman state for over 350 years, it underwent a modernization process and adopted the French secondary education system in 1868. Up till the end of the First World War in 1918, the school welcomed a diverse student body of different religious and ethnic groups constituting the population of the Ottoman Empire, such as Turks, Arabs, Greeks, Armenians, Jews, Levantines, Bulgarians, Albanians. Many of the graduates of this period, coming from various communities, became prominent statesmen, educators, bureaucrats and writers in Turkey as well as in their home countries.

  • A View of the History of the Istanbul Faculty of Medicine
    A VIEW OF THE HISTORY OF THE ISTANBUL FACULTY OF MEDICINE Prof. Dr. Nuran Yıldırım The Istanbul Faculty of Medicine, the Department of History of Medicine and Ethics Attributing the roots of the Istanbul Faculty of Medicine to the Fatih Darüşşifa after a great deal of discussion, the 500th anniversary of medical education in Istanbul was celebrated in 1970. The soundest documents showing that medical education was carried out in the Fatih Dârüşşifa were the appointment papers (rüus) of medical students for the dârüşşifa in the 60 years between 1723 and 1783. These nine rüus, which were recently published, clarify that there were positions for six medical students in the dârüşşifa, and that whenever a vacancy came up, a new medical student would be appointed by the chief physician to undergo a systematic medical training. 1-Archival document concerning Ismail Efendi‟s appointment in place of Derviş Mehmet in Fatih Darüşşifa after his death. With the opening of the Süleymaniye Medical Medrese, medical education in Istanbul, which had started with the Fatih Dârüşşifa, became institutionalized. The opening of a medical medrese for the first time in the Ottoman State is accepted as being an important step in our history of medical education. The Süleymaniye Medical Medrese (Süleymaniye Tıp Medresesi) was a medrese for specializing, or a “post-graduate” course, as only students who had completed their classic medrese education could continue. Not only did the physicians that were trained join the scholarly classes, but at the same time they could be qadi or rising even to the level of sheikh-ul-Islam or grand vizier.

  • 1 Hey Phoebe, You Once Said You Wanted to Read the Stuff I Write in The
    Hey Phoebe, You once said you wanted to read the stuff I write in the future. I think this is one of them. Or at least this is the sharing of my knowledge. I can only hope this helps you understand Istanbul a bit better. Welcome to Istanbul and happy birthday! All the sites and important things in this guide are capitalized. I have italicized the fun and interesting stuff. The guide is in separated into walks, because finding an exact address in Istanbul is really hard. You can only rely on other people giving you directions "go go go, take a left, take a second right etc.", so maybe this will be an authentic experience. The recommendations seem a lot but the walks will not take that long. If you are flying with Turkish Airlines that's great because they have good service. They are a private company, but they are also aligned with the government as a public image- they once sacrificed camels in front of a plane for a religious holiday and took a photo of it. For PR? Probably. But they have free alcohol! With entertainment! Like movies, which are edited in time and aspect ratio and content, and unedited music! They even have Wi-Fi on certain flights, so you can do whatever you want! I was thinking that you would read this tour guide in between your unintentional naps. They come in unexpected times, and it is very easy to give in. Anyhow. Apart from the ceremonial applauding of the pilot that only Turks and Italians share, the music they put on when you land used to be this welcoming music from this band İncesaz (check the playlist, I couldn't find the actual song so I opted out for a typical one.
