*Apologies for the cross-posting*

I hope the readers of  this list will find my new book relevant to their 
own work: Ottoman Medicine:  Health and 
Medical Institutions, 1500-1700 (Albany: SUNY, December 2009).  This is the 
first work in English devoted to medicine
in the Ottoman world.  It 
deals with medical ethics, relationship between medicine and religion,  
standards of professionalism, bureaucratization 
and health systems  management, and the extent of state control.
