Present in Persia since antiquity, Jews lived in quarters (mahalleh) in Isfahan, Shiraz, Hamadan and Yazd, speaking Judeo-Persian dialects. Under the Shi'ite Safavids they endured forced conversions and the humiliating status of najes (impure). The Judeo-Persian poetry of Shahin and Imrani attests to a rich literary culture.
