Records have been found for five women (four Jews and one Christian) licensed to practice medicine in Catalonia:
Floreta of Santa Coloma, de Queralt, widow of Jucef Ça-Noga, whose license was granted in Barcelona on 20 January 1374, ‘in arte medicine.’ It stated that she possessed ‘sufficient aptitude’ to practice. She was a doctor to Leonor de Sicilia, the third wife of Pedro del Punyalet.
Two Jewish women were licensed in Zaragosa: Bellayne, widow of Samuel Gallipapa and mother of Jehuda Gallipapa, Jews of Lérida, received her license on 10 September 1380. Na Pla, wife of Jehuda Gallipapa (presumably Bellayne’s daughter-in-law), was granted her license on 5 March 1387.
Juana, wife of Arnaldo Sarrovira, citizen of Barcelona, native of Calda de Montbuy, was a Christian who received her license on 25 May 1384.
Dolcich, wife of Maymo Gallipapa, from Leyda, received her license on 28 August 1384.
