Sayyid ʿ Imad ad -Din Nasimi (Persian سید عماد الدین نسیمی; * to 1369, † 1417/18 in Aleppo, skinned ) was based on present knowledge, the earliest Azerbaijani poet and philosopher. Since the Azerbaijani literature currently Nasīmīs was still part of the alto manic, but assigns Babinger (1995 ) Nasimi the Ottoman to villages (1988 ) due to the non- Anatolian origin of the Azerbaijani poet.
