Manuscript

One of Turkey's most important libraries in terms of its written documents and publications, the Konya Manuscripts Library in the Central Anatolian province of Konya has finished transferring 140,000 documents, including 30,000 manuscripts most from the Seljuk era, to digital format.

Archaeologists have unearthed what is believed to be one of the oldest medical recipes that belonged to the “father of Western medicine”, Hippocrates. During restorations at St. Catherine’s Monastery in South Sinai, Egypt, monks claim to have found a 6th century manuscript that belonged to the ancient Greek doctor.
