Imrei No’am is a collection of comments on the Pentateuch by the medieval French School of Tosaphists. Just as there are several collections of Tosaphoth to the Talmud, so too there are various collections of the Tosaphoth to the Pentateuch: Da’ath Zekeinim, Minchath Yehudah, and Pa’ane’ach Raza, to name but a few. See Ch.J.D. Azulai, Shem ha-Gedolim, II, A-113, D-34
