Imrani
Emrānī was a Judæo-Persian poet, being "one of the most prominent Jewish poets of Iran". Emrānī was inspired by the earlier poet Mawlana [Shahin Shirazi|Shāhīn] to choose "as his field the post-Mosaic era from Joshua to the period of David and Solomon".
His major work, Fatḥ-Nameh, describes in poetry "the events of the biblical books of Joshua, Ruth, and Samuel". Emrānī's last great work, Ganj-Nameh, is "a free poetic paraphrase of and commentary on the mishnaic treatise Avot".
Like his predecessor Shahin, he sought to compose a national epic analogous to the Shahnameh.
