Özet

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Qadi registers are important documents for Ottoman medical history research. "Sharia Court Records (Ser'iyye Sicilleri)" are notebooks that include the records that qadis kept with regard to their decisions and deeds. These registers are the only authentic sources from which to acquire information on rural life, away from the center of the town, and to understand the daily practices of the Ottoman society. The objective of this study is to provide evidence for the fact that the concept of informed consent on medical interventions, and hence the written consent documents arranged between patients and physicians, dates back to older times in our history when compared to the Western world.
