Probable hoax? Or maybe transliteration mangling? The two works claimed to have been written are not mentioned anywhere else on the web according to google. I'm not seeing any matches in http://viaf.org/ or other searches. I'm happy to withdraw the PROD if someone identifies this person in http://viaf.org/; comes up with an ISBN of a book by them; or similar. PROD removed with the addition of this link which includes only single passing mention. Stuartyeates (talk) 08:51, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete Found evidence in a Persian-language history blog that he probably existed, but the couple mentions are brief (listed as an author). Can confirm there is nothing in JSTOR, Gale or Proquest databases. Probably what sources exist are offline, rare, in private collections, often the case in that part of the world. If a specialist had opinion I would change my vote. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 17:45, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
