Autobiographies and Weak Ties
As I write this essay, the forty-fourth US President Barack Obama's autobiography titled A Promised Land is the best-selling book in Germany, in both the German and the English editions. This is his second autobiographical work, following Dreams from My Father in 1995. Given Obama's prominent place in our modern political culture, this is hardly surprising, but today's publishers seem to have no specific criteria for deciding whose life and caree…
Intellectual Networks in Timurid Iran
By focusing on the works and intellectual network of the Timurid historian Sharaf al Dīn 'Alī Yazdī (d.1454), this book presents a holistic view of intellectual life in fifteenth century Iran. İlker Evrim Binbaş argues that the intellectuals in this period formed informal networks which transcended political and linguistic boundaries, and spanned an area from the western fringes of the Ottoman State to bustling late medieval metropolises such as …

Timurid Experimentation with Eschatological Absolutism
There is a consensus among the historians of the Timurid Empire that after the death of Timur, Shāhrukh did not become the sovereign of the entire Timurid polity until the early 820s/1418s. He eliminated Mīrzā Iskandar b. ʿUmar-Shaykh, the governor of Fārs, in 817/1414-15 and Qaydu b. Pīr Muḥammad in 821/1418, and subsequently installed his own sons to various appanages, which were erstwhile distributed among other sons of Timur, Jahāngīr, ʿUmar-…
The Anatomy of a Regicide Attempt
This article provides a contextual analysis of the assassination attempt on the Timurid ruler Shāhrukh's life on 21 February 1427 in Herat. According to the contemporary Timurid chroniclers, Aḥmad-i Lur, a Ḥurūfī by profession, tried to kill Shāhrukh. Having survived the attack with light injuries, Shāhrukh reacted harshly and executed many of those who were accused of conspiring against him. During the interrogations, many other intellectuals wh…

Memoire Et Propagande a l'Epoque Timouride * by Michele Bernardini
There is no doubt that historical writing is one of the richest legacies of the Timurid dynasty of Iran and Central Asia. Many masterpieces of Persianate historiography were produced by the Timurid historians who negotiated culture and authority between the constantly competing local urban and intellectual elites and the Timurid central and local authorities. The Ẓafarnāma of Sharaf al-Dīn ʿAlī Yazdī (d. 858/1454) was seen as one of the pinnacles…
