Farhad Mirza (Persian: فرهاد میرزا; 1818 – 1888) was a Qajar prince, administrator, and writer in 19th-century Iran. He was the fifteenth son of the former crown prince Abbas Mirza (died 1833) and younger brother of the third Qajar shah (king) of Iran, Mohammad Shah Qajar (r. 1834–1848).[1]
Similar to his brother Bahman Mirza, Farhad Mirza was widely recognized for his passion for gathering Persian and Arabic manuscripts. He gathered one of the most valuable personal libraries in Iran throughout the years, but after his death, his belongings became progressively scattered.[1]
