Borzūya (or Burzōē) was a Persian physician in the late Sassanid era, at the time of Khosrow I. He translated the Indian Panchatantra from Sanskrit into the Middle Persian language of Pahlavi. But both his translation and the original Sanskrit version he worked from are lost. Before their loss, however, his Pahlavi version was translated into Arabic by Ibn al-Mafuqqa under the title of Kalila and Dimna or The Fables of Bidpai and became the Arabs' greatest prose classics.
