Abstract
The medical literature of the greek speaking ottoman world was deeply infhtenced by its byzantine heritage: the major authors were copied and commented, while practical marauds containing recipes and therapies - the iatrosophia- kept being enlarged with useful information. Furthennore, during the first centuries hospitals closey followed the models of their glorious past in what concerns architecture, scientific level, means and targets. In fa et, only the years after 1770 rely on occidental academie knowledge and adopt modenz conceptions.
