De Spaanse dokter door Matt Cohen
"De Spaanse dokter" is de uit Toledo afkomstige Avram Halevi, wiens leven gesitueerd wordt tussen 1370 en 1445, toen hij op 75-jarige leeftijd stierf in Rusland. Na aan de befaamde universiteit van Montpellier medicijnen te hebben gestudeerd, oefende hij van 1391 tot 1400 praktijk uit in zijn geboortestad; van 1400 tot 1407 is hij opnieuw in Montpellier, van 1407-tot 1410 weer te Toledo, van 1410 tot 1419 in Bologna, van 1421 tot 1445 in Kiev. Steeds is Avram op de vlucht voor pogroms, door streken en streden geteisterd door de Zwarte Dood, nu eens te hulp geroepen door machtige en rijke christenen, dan weer door hen naar het leven gestaan. Middeleeuwse levensomstandigheden van diverse aard worden zeer realistisch beschreven.… (meer)
