Özet:

The progress of pure sciences in general, and physics in particular, during  the XIXth century was pronounced in Turkey in educational institutions such as  the School of Engineering, the Military Academy, and the Imperial School of Medicine. Physics became an independent discipline with the foundation of the  Faculty of Sciences in the beginning of the 20th century. The present annotated  bibliography includes  publications  on the history of physics  and medical  physics printed between 1849 and 2004. Texts related to  physics  predating 1849, do not, in  essence, reflect  a scientific character, and are sketchy. For this  reason, they have not  been  included in this  bibliography. The book published by Hayrullah Efendi, professor at  the School of Medicine, entitled ‘Problems of Physics’ (Mesail­i Hikmet, 1849) is being accepted as the first publication of this bibliography. In  the next  four decades, physics  appears  a subject devoted mainly to the understanding of mechanics and ballistics. It was at the end of the 19th century  that physics and mathematics  emerged as pure sciences in the curricula of the university (Darülfünun) under the tutorial of professor Salih Zeki (1864­1921). In 1930, Fahir Yeniçay, after completing a doctorate in physics  in France, started courses in nuclear physics, heralding the  coming of modern physics in  Turkey. Our current bibliography includes 449 publications in the given period, of which 85 have been annotated.
