%X Italian physician/alienist Dr Luigi Mongeri (1815¨C82), who graduated from the School of Medicine in Pavia and worked as chief physician at S¨¹leymaniye and Topta£¿£¿ Lunatic Asylums, introduced important reforms that shaped modern psychiatry in the Ottoman Empire. Because of his projects and practices he was likened to Philippe Pinel (1745¨C1826), and was called the ¡®Pinel of Istanbul¡¯ or ¡®Pinel of the Turks¡¯. This article aims to examine the birth of modern psychiatry in the Ottoman Empire, through the biography of Luigi Mongeri and his writings on insanity
