Global InformationOliger Paulli information
Oliger (Holger) Paulli (March 18, 1644 – August 1714), also spelt as Olliger Paulli, was a wealthy Danish merchant from an influential family, pamphleteer, religious fanatic, and publisher. He was renowned for his over-zealous activities for the return of Jewish people to their promised holy land.[1][2]
He was well known for claiming his great-grandfather, "Simon Paulli (Sr.)",[3] as a Jew and descendant of the royal line of David. His controversial promulgations and religiously fanatical publications such as The Dove of Noah and The Triumph of the Stone cut without Hands created hopes and theological tensions among major religions of those days.[1]
