- CASTRO, PEDRO (Ezekiel) DE (b. 1603–after 1657), Marrano
physician. Born in Bayonne in southern France of Portuguese parents, he
studied in Spain, practiced medicine in Avignon and in about 1640 made
his way to Verona (Italy) where he joined the Jewish community under the
name Ezekiel and lived in the ghetto. After about a decade he apparently
reverted to Christianity, renewing his former name. As a Christian he
could then join the College of Physicians in Verona. He published works
in Italian and Latin on medical and scientific subjects. Three of his
medical works were published in 1642 and 1646 when he was a Jew. Once a
Christian, Castro was dismissed as physician of the community. The
vacant position was probably the reason for Isaac Cardozo's move to
Verona. Cardozo had been Castro's teacher of medicine.
