Ankara Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Deontoloji Doçenti
Physician and poet Şaban Şifai was born in Ayaş-Ankara. He went to Istanbul,
where he learned medicine and then joined the “royal physicians”. He
graduated from Galata Sarayı Medresseh and became a teacher of medresseh
in 1687/1688 and then gave lectures in various medressehs and was promoted
to higher ranks. Şaban Şifai became the cadi of Diyarbakır in 1703/1704.
Following dismissal from his post in July/August 1704, he returned to
Ankara, where he died in February/March 1705. His most prominent work
was Tedbiru’l-Mevlud (Treatment of Newborn), which was composed of an
introduction, eight sections and a conclusion. He also wrote a booklet on
antidotes under the title of Şifa’iyye. Kısasu’l-Enbiya (Stories of Prophets)
and Kala’idu’l-‘Ikban (Necklaces of Eagles) represent some non-medical
translations of Şaban Şifai.
