Seyid Imadaddin Nasimi (1369-1417) was a mystical poet who wrote in Azerbaijani, Persian and Arabic. Nasimi wrote two collections of poetry (divans) and a number of poems. In his poetry he expressed both Sufi and Hurufi sentiments. His lyrical and elegant style makes him one of the most prominent early divan masters.Naming citation (MPC batch dated 2019-05-18), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
