Abstract

This article highlights the historical issues of the work done in the world on medical sources written in Turkic languages. Moreover, it provides a detailed description of the information provided in scientific works, catalogs and small scientific works of Turkish language medical sources. The difference between this catalog and the catalog published in Tashkent is that it includes works on pharmacology in the category of medical works. This can be explained by the lack of resources in this area in the museum fund. The University of Utrecht library also contains medical information in a Turkish source under the number Hs.1 F18, but this catalog does not specify which field of medicine it belongs to. The most complete preservation of the manuscript, which contains medical information in Turkish, is given in Chapter 15 of the catalog. It is true that his works also need to be critically examined and studied, but we believe that the situation with the scientific approach to the information contained in his works is only positive for the Hungarian scientist.
