"Sephardic Jews often were ubiquitous court
physicians throughout Europe." Therefore,
you should be very interested in the
"International conference to be held
in Rila Monastery, Bulgaria, from
August 29th to 31st 2000, exploring
different aspects of medicine in the
Middle Ages, from folk knowledge
to official practices."

They may produce papers that follow the trail
of Medieval Jewish Sephardic physicians.

REF:
OUR SEPHARDIC MEDICAL ROOTS
http://www.apfmed.org/sephdm_p.htm
"Jewish medicine substantially was a Sephardic
enterprise, its practitioners either personally or
spiritually descended from the erudite rabbi-
philosopher-physicians who practiced in
Medieval Spain and Portugal. Luminaries such
as Judah Halevi, Maimonides and Nachmanides
were among the first outflow of Jewish physicians
from Spain during the 12th through 14th centuries
and after the Expulsion of 1492, the trickle
became a deluge. The emigres first went to Portugal
and from there fanned out to Amsterdam, Hamburg,
Italy, Poland, Greece, the Ottoman Empire, Goa
and the Americas."

Respectfully yours,
