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.

R. Samuel Hagiz (d.1633) was the scion of a distinguished family of Spanish exiles resident in Fez, Morocco, where he served as Rosh Yeshiva. His son Ya’akov, founded and headed the celebrated Beth Ya’akov Yeshiva in Jerusalem.
While in Venice to publish his books Devar Shmuel and Mevakesh Hashem, R. Samuel Hagiz served as proofreader in another press, perhaps to defray some of the expenses of the journey from Morocco to Italy. “His participation in the life of the presses inaugurated an involvement in Hebrew printing that was to last through to the generation of Moses Hagiz.” See E. Carlebach, The Pursuit of Heresy: Rabbi Moses Hagiz and the Sabbatian Controversies (1990) p. 20.
