Resumo: The Jewish sources that describe the non-medical dress and accessories of physicians are few. The current article focuses on the attire of Jewish physicians in the Ottoman Empire in the 16th-19th centuries. Two major issues regarding clothing items worn by Ottoman Jewish physicians are conspicuous in the halakhic historical literature: the hat worn by physicians and the practice of carrying a sword. Written testimonies and illustrations indicate that unlike other Jewish men who wore a yellow hat, Jewish physicians wore a red or blue hat, colors considered more prestigious. The elongated hat they wore was, however, shaped differently than that of Muslim physicians such that they could be discerned from their colleagues.

O artigo atual concentra-se no traje de médicos judeus no Império Otomano nos séculos XVI-XIX. Dois problemas principais relacionados aos itens de vestuário usados por médicos judeus otomanos são evidentes: o chapéu usado pelos médicos e a prática de portar uma espada. Testemunhos escritos e ilustrações indicam que, ao contrário de outros homens judeus que usavam um chapéu amarelo, os médicos judeus usavam um chapéu vermelho ou azul, cores consideradas mais prestigiosas. O chapéu alongado que usavam, no entanto, tinha uma forma diferente da dos médicos muçulmanos, de modo que podiam ser distinguidos de seus colegas.Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais2023-12-02info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/maaravi/article/view/4762910.35699/1982-3053.2023.47629Arquivo Maaravi: Revista Digital de Estudos Judaicos da UFMG; v. 17 n. 33 (2023): As escritoras no arquivo da tradição judaica; 174-1841982-3053reponame:Arquivo Maaravi: Revista Digital de Estudos Judaicos da UFMGinstname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGenghttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/maaravi/article/view/47629/39336Copyright (c) 2023 Arquivo Maaravi: Revista Digital de Estudos Judaicos da UFMGhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessShemesh, Abraham Ofir2024-03-03T22:56:31Zoai:periodicos.ufmg.br:article/47629Revistahttp://www.periodicos.letras.ufmg.br/index.php/maaravi/indexPUBhttp://www.periodicos.letras.ufmg.br/index.php/maaravi/oai||lyslei@ufmg.br1982-30531982-3053opendoar:2024-03-03T22:56:31Arquivo Maaravi: Revista Digital de Estudos Judaicos da UFMG - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false
