MARIK, SOLOMON:

Spanish surgeon, of whose life no details are known. He wrote in Spanish in Hebrew script a work entitled "Libro de la Cirogia," of which a fragment exists in a volume of miscellanea in the royal library at Munich.

David Marich or Marik, a physician and merchant, and Abraham Marich, both Spanish exiles, together with nineteen others, received permission from Duke Alfonso of Este on Feb. 1, 1493, to settle with their families at Ferrara ("R. E. J." xv. 120).
