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.

Spring, 2025.


* Most of the books offered here from Dr. Paul’s library, contain his small embossed stamp, generally affixed to the title-page.
