We aimed in this study to describe the determination of wounds and
diseases and their treatment methods according to the medical knowledge
of the era as contained in the Dede Korkut stories, from the perspective of
the history of medicine. Muharrem Ergin’s critical texts titled Dede Korkut
Kitabı-1 (Dede Korkut Book-1) and Dede Korkut Kitabı (Dede Korkut’s Book), the
book containing the text translated into contemporary Turkish; the book
titled Dede Korkut Oğuznameleri containing the texts of Dresden; and Vatican
copies of Dede Korkut stories re-transliterated and published by Tezcan and
Boeschoten were examined. Facsimiles of Dresden and Vatican copies of
stories in Ergin’s Dede Korkut Kitabı-1 were also compared to other studies.
Some medical situations were described in the story of Bugach Khan, son
of Dirse Han; the story of the plunder of Salur Kazan’s house; the story of
Bamsi Beyrek, son of Kam Pure; the story of the captivity of Uruz Bey, son
of Kazan Bey, and of Kanturali, son of Kanli Koca; the story of Emren, son
of Begil; and the story of the death of Beyrek. This study revealed that the
medical explanations and applications among the Oghuz tribes emphasized
in the Dede Korkut stories, which are important examples of the epic story
type of Turkish literature relating the lives of the Oghuz, reflected either
religious or materialistic medical understanding.
