The family evidently originated in Spain. Its first known member, Shelomoh ben Yosef (d. 1597), arrived in Kraków in 1560 from Ferrara, where he had studied medicine. In 1570, he was appointed court physician to King Sigismund Augustus of Poland, continuing in this position during the reign of the king’s eventual successor, Stefan Batory. In addition to serving as a physician and pharmacist, Shelomoh engaged extensively in international trade and land leasing. He is mentioned in Polish sources and by Shelomoh Luria (Responsa, 21) and Mosheh Isserles (Responsa, 30). Luria called Shelomoh “the wise and perfect physician,” and Isserles described him as “the expert, the physician, Rabbi Shelomoh the Lo‘az [Foreigner]” (the term lo‘az hinted at his having come from Italy).

Some sources say he died in Israel.
