Paul of Tammah was an Egyptian monk and hermit who lived during the fourth and fifth centuries. Residing in the mountains of Ansena, located in the modern El Minya governorate, he was recognized for his intense asceticism. He was known for practicing long periods of fasting, which he reportedly only broke upon divine instruction. During his later years, he formed a friendship with Pishoy, who had sought refuge in the same mountain region following attacks by Berbers.
