Muntané i Santiveri, Josep Xavier, "Metges jueus contractats pel govern municipal de Tàrrega durant els segles XIV i XV", Urtx, 26 (2012), 135-147.

Resum
Among the responsibilities that the municipal government of Tàrrega took on during the Late Middle Ages was attention to healthcare in the town. The councillors worked to ensure that there was at least one doctor living there to look after the hospitals and the sick and so decided to use the funds allocated yearly for this to contract those medical professionals who, after being tested and found suitable, were willing to live and exercise their skills there. According to the surviving documents from second halves of the 14th and 15th centuries, of these doctors were Jewish: Jews who had to look after the health of the Christians. The appendix contains the transcription and translation of two royal licences to practice medicine awarded to Itskhaq Salom and Iossef Abenaçaya, Jews from Tàrrega.
