Paulus Ricius, Talmudica novissime in latinum versa periocunda commentariola [and other works]. Augsburg, Sigmund Grimm, 1519 [and] De sexcentum et tredecim mosaice sanctionis edictis [and other works]. Augsburg, Johann Miller, 1515

Paulus Israelita, baptized Paulus Ricius (d. 1541) may be considered one of the architects of the Christian Kabbalah. After his conversion to the Christian religion, he attempted to refute Jewish arguments against his newly-acquired faith by means of the Kabbalah: thinking for instance that he had discovered proof for the Trinity and other Christian doctrines in Jewish mystical works.

He also adduced passages from the Talmud and the Kabbalah in defence of the Christian religion.
