December 18, 2019
December 2019 marks the 815th anniversary of the death of the great Sephardic scholar Maimonides. In honor of this remarkable physician and thinker, the Central Israeli Committee of Uruguay published on its website a reproduction of Jaime Cerdá Lorca’s article in the Chilean Journal of Infectious Diseases (2009), titled “Moses Maimonides: Physician to Princes, Prince of Physicians.”

In addition, in 2004, to mark the 800th anniversary of the Jewish intellectual’s death, the Uruguayan Postal Service issued a commemorative stamp that was the result of a contest held by Universidad ORT Uruguay itsfifth-semester students in the Bachelor of Graphic Design program.
