Comentaris
Metge estranger que, havent arribat per mar a Catalunya, vivia a Vilafranca del Penedès vers 1275. Ensenyà la uroscòpia a Gueraula de Codines (fl. c. 1260 – c. 1330), segons aquesta confessà el 1307 («Interrogata si plures infirmi veniunt ad eam, dixit quod sic et specialiter pro urinis iudicandis. Interrogata ubi didicit illam artem, dixit quod a quodam medico extraneo, qui venit per mare ad Villam Francham, nomine En Bofim, bene sunt .XXX. anni»). Del seu nom s'ha deduït, potser erròniament ("Bonfim" o "Bomfim" són cognoms portuguesos), que devia ser mudèjar.
