This study based on researches utilizing the American and Ottoman sources, deals with the claim upon the lectures given by Roussignan (Rusinyan Efendi), especially at the Royal School of Medicine and describes his medical career as follows. Nahabed Roussignan who graduated from Paris School of Medicine in 1849, returned to Istanbul in 1851 and was appointed as the private physician to Fuad Pasha, upon the request of Dr. Serviçen. In the meantime he worked at the Bab-i Seraskeri Hastanesi (the Hospital of the Military Ministry) until 1860 and also started to work at the Military High School as a doctor of medicine. As to the Royal School of Medicine, he taught pathological anatomy between 1864-1872. There are not any records to prove his being a faculty member during this year. He was probably in financial shortage because of unemployment during that year, as stated by Artin Mezbour. The following year he was employed at in the School of Medicine again, through his friends' support. this time he taught logic and French composition between 1874-1876 and instructed deontology for a little while in 1876. He collected his lectures on logic as a Textbook of Philosophy. He passed away in the same week, so this book was published posthumously (Istanbul 1879). Since he died on November 29th 1876, at the end of the year, his name was included in the State Yearbook of 1877, but was misspelled as "Rüsteban". To sum up, deontology as an independant discipline at the Royal School of Medicine began to be lectured for the first time by N. Roussignan in 1876, and succeeding his death these lectures were taken over by Dr. Hovsep Nouridjan (Nurican Efendi). Istepan Arslanian, who was claimed to be the lecturer of these courses after Roussignan, was in Rumelie during 1875-1876 and employed in Austria in 1877; therefore he could never have taught deontology during this period.
