Sara de Sancto Aegidio (St. Gilles) (also known as Sara of St. Gilles, or Sara de Saint Gilles) was a fourteenth century physician.[1]

Sara of Sancto Aegidio lived in Marseille, France.[1] She was the daughter of Davin and the widow of a physician named Avraham.[1][2] Her practice and medical knowledge is known through a contract with her student, Salvetus de Burgonoro of Salon de Provence, which is dated August 28, 1326.[1] The contract states that Sara de Sancto Aegidio was to instruct him in medicine for seven months, and also provide him with lodging and clothing.[1] In return, Sara de Sancto Aegidio's pupil was to give her any earnings that he might receive during his apprenticeship.[1] This document is the earliest and best known example of this type of teacher-student contracts.[3]
