Yazdi and Arabshah both wrote two of the most famous texts about the warlord Amir Timur, also known as Tamerlane. My research focused on why the two of them approached Timur&#8217;s legacy so differently in their writing, or why they chose not to write about him. My project found connections and comparisons between the three men and how Timur altered their lives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/history.mirandalenihan.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/timur-196531_1280-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18\" style=\"width:402px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/history.mirandalenihan.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/timur-196531_1280-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/history.mirandalenihan.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/timur-196531_1280-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/history.mirandalenihan.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/timur-196531_1280-1.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi!
