Yosei Alnaharvanai ( Hebrew: יוסי אלנהרואנאי) was a Hebrew scholar of the Gaonic period, probably of Nehardea.
He is the author of a rhymed alphabetical treatise in Hebrew on the Hebrew calendar, printed in Kerem Ḥemed. [1] This poem is interesting for the light it throws on the history of the Jewish calendar as well as on the history of medieval Hebrew poetry. A commentary on Alnaharvanai's verses was later written by Saadia ben Yehuda ben Evyatar in Egypt. [2]
