BONGODAS COHEN:
By: Richard Gottheil
Provençal physician; flourished in 1353. No details of his life can be ascertained. He was the author of a Latin work on obstetrics, still extant in a Turin manuscript (Pasini, cod. 80, 3). If Steinschneider is right, and "Cohen" (
) is a mistake for "Nathan" (
) Bongodas may be identical with Judah
