A fierce conqueror, like Genghis Khan, from the confines of Central Asia and mythical Samarkand, Amir Timur or Tamerlane is the eponymous founder of a major dynasty: the Timurids (1370-1507). After his death, this dynasty dominated the eastern Iranian and Turko-Iranian worlds, and produced one of the most brilliant cultures of the Islamic world: the famous "fifteenth century Timurid," a unique political-cultural combination of the Turko-Mongol and Irano-Muslim traditions.
In this reference synthesis, Maria Szuppe sheds light on the originality of Timurid civilization: the structure of the state, the organization of power and society, economic, religious, literary and artistic life, but also daily life are recounted here using original sources, mainly in Persian, and the most recent research in the historical, literary and archaeological fields. Chronologies, maps and illustrations complement them.
