David ben Amram Adani

David ben Amram Adani (14th-century CE) was a Yemenite Jewish scholar renowned for his authorship of Midrash HaGadol,[1][2][a] a collection of homiletical expositions drawn from ancient rabbinic sources. Adani is believed to have descended from a line of prominent Jewish leaders in Aden,[3] as he is referred to in one ancient source as "David b. Amram, the nagid from the city of Aden."[1] Nagid is a title borne by the leader of the Jewish community of Aden from the 12th century.[1]
