SOLOMON DE SABALDUCCHIO:

Physician; flourished in Perugia, Italy, in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Pope Boniface IX., shortly after his accession, appointed Solomon his body-physician (Oct. 13, 1392). The bull which this pope issued on April 15, 1402, and in which he granted the Jews certain rights and privileges, was a result of the activity of this physician and of another named Angelo.
