Anush bar Danqa (Classical Mandaic: ࡀࡍࡅࡔ ࡁࡓ ࡃࡀࡍࡒࡀ, romanized: Anuš br Danqa, lit. 'Anuš, son of Danqa') was a 7th-century Mandaean priest who was active around the Muslim conquest of Persia. Around 638 AD, he led a delegation of Mandaeans before the Arab Muslim authorities to have the Mandaeans recognized as a People of the Book. He is also mentioned as one of the earliest copyists in the colophons of many Mandaean texts.[1][2][3]
