Abstract :One of the best developed institutions of medieval Islam was the hospital , and Kütahya was an important city, politically and economically, as well as from the cultural standpoint. One would expect, therefore, to find that it had at least one hospital. Up to now no hospital was known to have been built in Kütahya. In the records of the Evkaf Genel Müdürlüğü insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(General Directory of the Turkish Waqf Endowments); I have noticed references to such a hospital. The earliest reierence to it occurs in a record from the year 1251 H., i. e., from about one hundred years ago. This is only an indirect reference, however, and there exists no indication that it was functioning at that time; its waqf document had apparently long been lost in those years. For no record referring to such a document exists.
