Rare Hebrew Books,
Including Six Incunabula
From the Collection of the late
Dr. Michael D. Paul of
St. John’s, Newfoundland.
* With a Fine Isidor Kaufmann Portrait Painting.
Montreal born Dr. Michael David Paul (1954-2024) was a respected professor of medicine specializing in nephrology who devoted himself to the citizens of Newfoundland and Labrador for more than forty years.
Alongside his teaching and medical practice, Dr. Paul served as the long-time President of the small Jewish community of St. John’s. His many interests included travel, philanthropy, but especially book-collecting - alongside related study and research.
Of all the many clients I have been privileged to know in my forty year book career, Dr. Paul was among the most learned and certainly the most interesting.
May his soul receive its eternal reward and may his memory forever be blessed.

Born in Thessaloniki, Greece, Moses ben Baruch Almosnino (c. 1515-80) was a prolific rabbinic scholar whose many works demonstrate extensive knowledge of science, philosophy, history, and rhetoric.
His Halachic responsa appear in the collections of such contemporaries as R. Shmuel de Medina (MaHaRaSHDa’M), and R. Ya’akov di Boton.
Alongside Hebrew commentaries to the Five Megilloth (Yedei Moshe, 1582), the Chumash and prayer book (Tefillah LeMoshe, 1563), R. Moshe Almosnino also published in Judeo-Spanish.
