		This cultural rebirth had a double character; on one hand, there was a renewal of Persian civilization and art (distinguished by extensive adaptations from the Chinese), and on the other, an original national literature in the Turk-Jagatai language, which borrowed from Persian sources.
		After his succession (ruled 1447–49) to the throne the Timurid empire fell into anarchy; the Turkmen horde known as the White Sheep conquered much territory, while the Uzbeks looted Samarkand.

	Iransaga - Persian Art, The Timurids
		The most notable feature of the new Timurid style (although derived from the earlier Ilkhan period) is a new conception of space.
		The first Herat miniatures were in form, a more perfect version of the early Timurid style, which had blossomed at the beginning of the century.
		Their style is distinguished by sumptuous colours, an almost incredible precision of detail, perfect unity of composition, striking individual characterisation of the human figure, and an utmost sensibility in conveying atmosphere from the solemn to the playfulness of narrative painting.

	Timurids as Builders
		Interestingly enough, one of the principle Timurid builders was Gawhar Shad, Shah Rukh's wife, who was responsible for a magnificent mosque at Meshed (built between 1405 and 1418) and a mosque-madrasah-mausoleum complex in Herat (1417-1437).
		However, the Timurids still continued to build in their founder's capital, especially Ulugh Beg, who was governor of the city under his father, Shah Rukh.
		In addition, there are two important examples of Timurid architecture from the period after Timur: the madrasah and observatory of Ulugh Beg.

	Women in the Timurid and Safavid Dynasties
		Although it is not easy to decipher which of the numerous women was the principal wife, due to the large amount of wives and concubines that lived in the court, it is easy to identify the ruler, Ulugh Beg.
		Princesses and other upper-class women who were the mothers, wives, sisters, or daughters of the ruling men in Timurid Iran in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries enjoyed a certain level of wealth, power, and political influence, enabling them to be patrons of art and architecture.
		As you can see, the Timurid women had enough wealth to be able to patronize art and architecture and enough power to be able to place the buildings in important areas of the city.

	Timur and the Timurid Dynasty
		Hillenbrand tells us that "The Timurid period marks the apogee of colour in Iranian architecture, both in sheer technical expertise and in the astonishing variety of designs and textures." In his view the typical features include "colossal size" as well as "ribbed comes, high drums, and multiple minarets." (Hillenbrand, 1999, p.
		Since the Mughals were direct heirs to the Timurids, the sustaining element of their architecture, especially during the initial phase, was Timurid....
		A fact that is not generally recognized is that essential ideas of Timurid architecture, such as the perfect symmetry of plan reflected consistently in the elevations, as well as complex vault patterns, came to fruition much more in Mughal architecture than in Safawid Iran, which was also heir to the same tradition.
