Elijah Montalto (1567 – 1616) was a Marrano physician and polemicist from Paris[1] who became the personal physician of Maria de Medici.[2]
He had been reared as a Christian in Portugal and openly returned to Judaism on settling in Venice. His Suitable and Incontrovertible Propositions was an anti-Christian polemic.[3][4] He was one of the teachers of Joseph Solomon Delmedigo.[5]
When Montalto died, Saul Levi Morteira went to Paris to recover his body for burial in Beth Haim of Ouderkerk aan de Amstel, one of the Jewish cemeteries in Amsterdam.
