Mehdi Bamdad
Mehdi Bamdad (Persian: مهدی بامداد; died 1973) was an Iranian civil servant who is principally known as the author of the Sharh-e hal-e rejal-e Iran dar qorun-e 12 va 13 va 14 hejri ("Biographies of [notable] personages of Iran in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries"). Because it was the first attempt to compile a national biography of Iran, Bamdad's work is considered significant, particularly for the images it includes.[1]
