José Paulo de Mira

José Paulo de Mira was a Portuguese author born in 1808. Library and public-domain records link him to works in Portuguese including Uma noção da caça do javali, published in Évora in 1872, and Um brado contra as monterias de cerco aos Lobos na Provincia do Alemtejo.

Those books point to a writer deeply engaged with field sports and the realities of country life, especially hunting in the Alentejo region. His writing appears practical as well as argumentative, mixing instruction with sharp views on hunting methods and rural customs.

Some genealogical sources identify him more fully as José Paulo de Carvalho e Mira and give dates and family details, but the core facts most clearly confirmed here are his 1808 birth and his authorship of the hunting titles above. I couldn’t confirm a reliable portrait from the sources I found, so no profile image is included.
