Heimann Joseph Michael
Heimann (Hayyim) Michael (April 12, 1792 – June 10, 1846) was a
bibliophile, and began to collect valuable works when still a boy of twelve. With his progress in Hebrew literature
his love for books increased also, the result of which was his magnificent library of 862 manuscripts and 5,471 printed works, covering all branches of Hebrew literature. There were few books in his collection which he had not read, and he undertook the preparation of a full catalog of it. As far as he accomplished this task, it was the foundation of the Ozerot Hayyim, Katalog der Michael'schen Bibliothek, Hamburg, 1848.
