Abstract

Manuscripts are the precious treasures of every nation. Our country is very rich in this field due to its strong cultural support, and many manuscripts in the Persian language are kept in the libraries of Iran and around the world. These manuscripts cover various fields, with a significant portion related to medical and paramedical sciences. “Manafe-e-Afzaliye” is one of these valuable works, dating back to the 11th century of the Hijri calendar, specifically during the Safavid period.

The books from the Safavid period contain very little information about the author of “Manafe-e-Afzaliye” and his works. Most of our knowledge about him is derived from the review of his writings. Regarding the development and validity of medical science during this period, there are contradictory statements, such as: “The Safavid period is the golden age of pharmacology, and valuable books were written in this field” (Safa, 2005, p. 166) or conversely, that “the prescriptions of doctors during this time are the same.”

“They prescribe a universal remedy for all ailments and often arrive at diagnoses by asking a handful of meaningless questions” (Sarmadi, 2000, pp. 138-139). Conversely, “the development of medicine during the Safavid era is so remarkable and impressive that no medical historians can ignore it” (Mojabi, 2006, p. 135). The insights provided in “Manafe-e-Afzaliye” and its in-depth exploration of traditional medicine can serve as evidence supporting the claims of researchers such as Safa and Mojabi.
