[3] It is necessary to highlight the considerable influence of the French science of pharmacy on the Ottoman pharmacy. The pharmacopeias published in Istanbul during the period of the Ottoman Empire were mostly written in French, in particular the Pharmacoée Militaire Ottomane (1844) by Dr. Charles Ambroise Bernard and the Dustur-ul Edviye (1874), a translation of the Pharmacopée Française (1866) by Prof. Huseyin Sabri.
