Ibn Nu�ez, Jacob
The 1901 Jewish Encyclopedia
Physician to King Henry IV. of Castile and his chief judge ("juez mayor"); also rabbi, as he calls himself. In 1474 hewas commissioned by the king to apportion at Segovia the taxes which the "aljamas" of the Jews in all the king's dominions had to pay annually. These taxes were not collected by Ibn Nu�ez, but by the royal tax-collectors to whom Ibn Nu�ez applied for that purpose.
