For the later poet 1766–1820 writing in the Vietnamese language, the author of The Tale of Kieu, see Nguyễn Du.
Nguyễn Dữ (chữ Hán: 阮嶼), was a 16th-century poet of Vietnam known for the Truyền kỳ mạn lục (傳奇漫錄, Collection of Strange Tales).[1][2]
Nguyễn Dữ was born in Đỗ Tùng village, Gia Phúc district, Hải Dương province, Việt Nam. He was a student of Nguyễn Bỉnh Khiêm (1491-1585), a well-known Vietnamese educator, philosopher, and poet.
Truyền kỳ mạn lục was his only publication.[3]
