Stèphanie de Montaneis

Stèphanie de Montaneis was a purported mid-13th century physician from Lyons mentioned in Muriel Joy Hughes's Women Healers in Medieval Life and Literature.

In the relevant section, concerning physicians training their daughters in medicine, Hughes states: "Étienne de Montaneis, a physician in Lyons, in all probability trained his daughter, Stèphanie, in the art of healing, for she was referred to in 1265 as medica."

Which translated, means: "We, Sister Bruna, humble abbess of the nuns of Saint Peter of Lyon, make it known to all who shall inspect these present letters that Martina, widow of the deceased Jaquemet del Clos, a citizen of Lyon, appearing before us, knowing, wise and voluntary, sells, transfers, assigns and grants to Andrew, husband of Agnes, sister of Brother Peter, recluse of Saint Irenaeus of Lyon, for the price of one hundred Viennese solidi, which the said seller Martina acknowledges before us as fully paid, a certain half foot of land with a little house situated therein, which half foot of land is located next to the land of William, the Furrier [or Tanner], on one side, and next to the land of Stephen, a physician, formerly the son of Stephen of Montaneis, physician, on the other." Which seems to imply that Stèphanie de Montaneis's existence was based on a faulty translation.

Stèphanie de Montaneis' name is included on the tiles of the Heritage Floor of Judy Chicago's art installation The Dinner Party.
