Comentaris
Metge (físic-cirurgià). L'any 1348 aparegué esmentat com a físic de Vic. Es traslladà a Barcelona, on en 1357 surt nomenat com a cirurgià de la ciutat. Emperò, en març d'aquest mateix any, era absent de l'urb, mentre es resolien les últimes voluntats del seu parent Francesc d'Altafaia. — Formes antigues del nom: «Jacme de Altafallia» (català), «Jacobus de Altafaya» (llatí), que reprodueix una pronúncia que no permet regularitzar en "Altafaja".
