Image description

A miniature painting from a 16th century manuscript of the Zafarnama. 1533. Timur (1336-1405), known as Tamerlane, was a Turco-Mongol conqueror and founder of the Timurid dynasty in Central Asia. The Zafarnama (Persian: ظفرنامه‎, lit. Book of Victory) is a biography of Timur completed by the Persian historian Sharaf ad-Din Ali Yazdi between 1424 and 28 (AH 828–832) commissioned by Ibrahim Sultan, Timur's grandson. Yazdi relied on a previous biography of Timur, also called the Zafarnama, by Nizam ad-Din Shami in 1404.
