摘要:In this article we try to characterize the group of people who made of medicine the most important occupation of their lives and their way of living, from the richest and the most affluent physics who worked in the city, to the rural barbers, going by women and quacks and also from the practice of the members of the three great religions that crossed the Crown of Aragon: Christians, Jewish and Muslims. It is analysed the medical activity, what it consists of, where and how it was developed. Second, we try to go beyond medicine to deal with an aspect that medicine historians (chroniclers) are not used to raise, except in particular situations, related with healers: their economical, political and social activity.
