David ben Amram Adani

1 standalone book

David ben Amram Adani was a Yemenite Jewish scholar who authored Midrash HaGadol, a collection of homiletical expositions drawn from ancient rabbinic sources. He is believed to have descended from a line of prominent Jewish leaders in Aden, as he is referred to in one ancient source as "David b. Amram, the nagid from the city of Aden." The title "nagid" was borne by the leader of the Jewish community of Aden from the 12th century. Adani lived in the 14th century.
