Identity

Relying on the US Library of Congress, which uses "Mesqali, Farsheed" primarily, two U.S. publishers of ʻAmmū Nawrūz in English rendered the title and name thus:

  • [1] Uncle New Year ... Farsheed Meskali (Minneapolis MN: Carolrhoda Books, 1972)
  • [2] Uncle Noruz ... Farsheed Mesqali (Lexington KY: Mazda Publishers, 1983)

Today I will mention "Farsheed Mesqali" in the lead.

Not done. -p64 2013-08-19

VIAF has not yet unified library records for this author:

and none of those records yet includes a link to this article (as VIAF pages commonly do).

Resolved. Those three VIAF records have been merged with http://viaf.org/viaf/22433437/ which does link this article. (The German record is only a nameholder and there is another record
for the name "Mitqālī, Faršīd".) --P64 (talk) 14:12, 19 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Notes from fa.wikipedia via Google translate

edit

Among other things, the biography at fa.wikipedia, as translated by Google[3]

  1. gives birthdate "13 Persian date Tir 1322" and "13 July 1322"
  2. lists one more award: "Apples of Gold" Biennial of Illustrations Bratislava, Czechoslovakia for the illustration book "Arash" (1970)
  3. mentions "the period of the artist's collaboration with the Institute for Intellectual Development of Children and Adolescents" —[the publisher of Romanized Persian editions that I have listed here, from LCCat and WorldCat]
  4. states that Farshid was nominated for the Astrid Lindgren Award in 1391
