Özet:

Although the printing press started to be used by the minorities in the Ottoman lands from the 15th century onwards, the first Turkish printing house was opened in the Ottoman Empire at the beginning of the 18th century. In Ottoman society, until that time, manuscripts were carefully prepared and attracted great attention by many people. With the use of the printing press, the transition process from a manuscript to a printed book is an issue that needs to be emphasized. The first book of this printing house, which was officially opened in 1727, came out of print in 1729 and entered the publishing life. When it comes to approximately 1850, it is seen that there has been a significant increase in both the number of printing houses and the number of printed books. Examining the books published in the period from the first printed book to 1850 will guide the understanding of this transition process. The subject of medicine and health has been a field that people have been interested in since ancient times. Books on these subjects were prepared before the printing house, as well as after the printing press. Sometimes books were printed in the printing house to be taught to students in educational institutions and sometimes for the benefit of those who are interested in this field. Some of these publications have been prepared without pictures and some with pictures. In our study, the first printed books on medicine and health will be discussed. As a result of the researches carried out in this context, three printed works with pictures have been reached. One of these three works is on anatomy and in this direction, there are many pictures on the human body in the work. One of the other two works was about hot springs and the other was about syphilis. In this study, information is given about the author, subject, date of writing, number of pages, printing house and pictures of the works in question. In addition, the pictures in the works were examined in terms of printing technique, the creators and the use of living figures.
