Paul the Persian or Paulus Persa was a 6th-century Persian philosopher who worked at the court of the Sassanid king Khosrau I. and figure in the Church of the East (Nestorian church). He wrote several treatises and commentaries on Aristotle, which had some influence on medieval Islamic philosophy. Having once aspired to be the metropolitan bishop of Persis, he later converted to Zoroastrianism. Paul’s apostasy is described in a similar manner in the Arabic Chronicle of Séert, but the modern scholar Teixidor has questioned the historical value of these reports. He is identified by some scholars with Paulus of Nisibis (d. 571 CE) and with Paul of Basra. According to Jackson, he was "a Christian who may have studied Greek philosophy in the schools of Nisibis and Gundeshapur". He is remembered for his writings in Syriac for his royal patron. These include his notes in Syriac on Aristotle's Logic, in which he declares the superiority of science over faith.
