Emmanuel Timoni or Emanuel Timonius (Greek: Εμμανουήλ Τιμόνης; 1669-1718/1720) was an Ottoman Greek physician from Chios. His father was a dragoman at the Sultan's court.[1] He studied medicine and philosophy at the University of Oxford and the University of Padua. After his studies he became a physician at the Sultan's court in Constantinople.[1]
Timoni and Giacomo Pylarini were responsible for introducing the idea of variolation to the United Kingdom when they independently wrote letters on the subject to the Royal Society.[2][3][4]
