- W1909562 abstract "The myth of the Timurid period as one of super-creativity, if not actu ally adumbrated by Tamerlane himself,1 was propaga ed, largely for political reasons, by his successors,2 and by later dynasties, the Safavids, the Mughals and even the Ottomans. It was strikingly successful: only the Mamluks, who nevertheless shared the Timurids' Turco-Mongolian background, took a cool view of them. Its most recent revival, despite Gibbon's deflationary judgement that Tamerlane presented ?the specious ideas of a perfect monarchy?, is in recent American claims for the con sistent centralised direction of Timurid court literature and art.3 The pur pose of the present essay is not to destroy the myth but, by considering the limits of centralisation, to show it for what it is. Timurid princely patronage, though often undoubtedly capricious, was certainly not entirely un-selfconscious. Nor was the cultural mythography of Timurid historians a chance creation. The original ruler-poet (and probably the original ruler-connoisseur too) was Ahmad Gala'ir; without the mosque of 'AH Sah at Tabriz and the Great Mosque at Waramln Timurid architecture would probably have been insignificant; and Ulug Beg's scientific achievements were essentially indebted to Naslr al-DIn TusI and the Ilkhanid observatory at Maragah. Thanks to the Timurid historians, however, it was the culturally parvenu Timurids who enjoyed posthumous celebrity: Baysunqur and the arts of the book at Harat;" @default.
