Personality and scientific publications of Jules Séglas, alienist of the Paris hospitals between 1886 and 1921, have not yet been completely studied, although his name is frequently quoted by his contemporaries. In a lst part, the authors relate the principal stages of Seglas's biography and medical course in the Salpêtrière hospital. They evoke his personality and his empirical approach of mental illness and psychiatry — a century before DSM-IV. A 2nd part is devoted to the review of his semiologic works, during the period 1881–1934. The authors try to state precisely his specific contributions, in perspective with Kraepelin, Janet and Clerambault's works. Then a 3rd part reviews the present extension, often unknown, of his works in several domains : clinic, epistemology (concepts of syndrome and comorbidity in psychiatry), psychopathology (phenomenological approach of delusion, personality disorders).
