Extrait : Tamerlan (Timour ou Timur Lang, « Timur le boiteux », du verbe persan langidan - boiter ) (1336 - février 1405), était un guerrier turco-mongol du siècle, conquérant d'une grande partie de l'Asie Centrale et de l'Ouest. Il fonda l'Empire des Timourides et la dynastie des Timourides qui survécut jusqu'en 1857. Son prénom, Timur, signifie « fer » en turco-mongol (cf. mongol tömör et turc demir) et se rapproche de celui de Gengis Khan, Temüdjin. On l'appelle aussi Amir Timur (Temur) (émir de fer). Né près de Samarcande en Ouzbékistan en 1336 et devenu émir de Transoxiane, il se révéla un redoutable chef de guerre, bâtissant un immense empire reposant sur la force et la terreur. Les historiens parlent souvent de « catastrophe timouride » tant ses destructions et massacres furent spectaculaires. Lors de ses conquêtes, il n'hésitait pas à massacrer intégralement la population des villes qui lui résistaient à l'exception notable des artisans qu'il déportait dans sa capitale Samarcande. C'est à ce titre qu'il se montra aussi protecteur des arts et des lettres qui firent la grandeur de sa capitale, Samarcande. Après la mort de Tamerlan en 1405 son empire, gouverné par ses descendants (les Timourides), fut grignoté par les puissances voisines jusqu'à l'assaut final des Ouzbeks de la dynastie des Chaybanides.

Excerpt: William Waynflete (born William Patten) (c. 1398 11 August 1486), was Bishop of Winchester from 1447 to 1486, and Lord Chancellor of England from 1456 to 1460. He is best remembered as the founder of Magdalen College and Magdalen College School in Oxford. William was born in Wainfleet, Lincolnshire (whence his surname) in about 1398. He was the eldest son of Richard Patten (alias Barbour), a merchant. His mother was Margery, daughter of Sir William Brereton of Brereton in Cheshire. He had a younger brother named John, who later became the dean of Chichester. It has been alleged that he attended Winchester College and New College, Oxford, but this is improbable. Neither college claimed in his lifetime that he was one of its alumni. That he was at Oxford, and probably a scholar at one of the grammar schools there, before passing on to the higher faculties, is shown by a letter of the chancellor addressed to him when provost of Eton which speaks of the university as his mother who brought him forth into the light of knowledge and nourished him with the alimony of all the sciences. He is probably the William Barbour who was ordained acolyte by Bishop Fleming of Lincoln on 21 April 1420 and subdea...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=610765 ... Read more

Excerpt: Mdhavan of Sangamagramam (born as Irinjaatappilly Madhavan Namboodiri) (c. 1350 c. 1425) was a prominent Hindu mathematician-astronomer from the town of Irinjalakkuda, near Cochin, Kerala, India. Sangamagramam (lit. sangamam = union, grmam = village) is a rough translation to Sanskrit from Dravidian word 'Iringattikudal', which means ' iru (two) angaTi (market) kUdal (union)' or the union of two markets . He is considered the founder of the Kerala school of astronomy and mathematics. He was the first to have developed infinite series approximations for a range of trigonometric functions, which has been called the "decisive step onward from the finite procedures of ancient mathematics to treat their limit-passage to infinity". His discoveries opened the doors to what has today come to be known as mathematical analysis. One of the greatest mathematician-astronomers of the Middle Ages, Madhava contributed to infinite series, calculus, trigonometry, geometry and algebra. Some scholars have also suggested that Madhava's work, through the writings of the Kerala school, may have been transmitted to Europe via Jesuit missionaries and traders who were active around the ancient port of Kochi at the time. As a result, it may have had an influence on later European developments in analysis and calculus. Although there is some evidence of Mathematical wo...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=2793007 ...

Excerpt: Jalaluddin Muhammad Akbar ( Jall ud-Dn Muhammad Akbar), also known as Shahanshah Akbar-E-Azam or Akbar the Great (23 November 1542 27 October 1605) was the third Mughal Emperor of India/Hindustan. He was of Timurid descent; the son of Humayun, and the grandson of the Zaheeruudin Muhammad Babur, the legendary ruler who founded the Mughal dynasty in India. At the end of his reign in 1605 the Mughal empire covered most of the northern and central India and was one of the most powerful empires of the age.. Abu'l Fath Jalaaluddin Muhammad Akbar, widely considered as one of the greatest and the most influential personalities of the world history, was thirteen years old when he ascended the Imperial Mughal throne in Delhi, following the death of his father Naseeruddin Muahmmad Humayun. During his reign, he eliminated military threats from the powerful Pashtun (Pathan) descendants of Sher Shah Suri, and at the Second Battle of Panipat he defeated the newly self-declared Hindu king Hemu. It took him nearly two more decades to consolidate his power and bring parts of northern and central India into his realm. The emperor solidified his rule by pursuing diplomacy with the powerful Rajput caste, and by admitting Rajput princesses in his harem. Akbar's reign significantly influenced art and culture in the region. Akbar took a great interest in painting, and had the walls of his palaces adorned with murals.

Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Timur (from the Perso-Arabic form , ultimately from Chagatai (Middle Turkic) "iron"; 8 April 1336 - 18 February 1405), normally known as Tamerlane (from ) in English, was a 14th-century conqueror of Western, South and Central Asia, founder of the Timurid Empire and Timurid dynasty (1370-1405) in Central Asia, and great great grandfather of Babur, the founder of the Mughal Dynasty, which survived until 1857 as the Mughal Empire in India. Born into the Turco-Mongol Barlas tribe who ruled in Central Asia, Timur was in his lifetime a controversial figure, and remains so today. He sought to restore the Mongol Empire, yet his heaviest blow was against the Islamized Tatar Golden Horde. He was more at home in an urban environment than on the steppe. He styled himself a ghazi yet some Muslim states, e.g. the Ottoman Empire, were severely affected by his wars. A great patron of the arts, his campaigns also caused vast destruction. Timur told the qadis of Aleppo, during the sack of that newly-conquered city,"I am not a man of blood; and God is my witness that in all my wars I have never been the aggressor, and that my enemies have always been the authors of their own calamity." Temür means "iron" in the Chagatai language and according to the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain ... Read more

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Ulugh Beg Observatory is an observatory in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. Built in the 1420s by the Timurid astronomer Ulugh Beg, it is considered by scholars to have been one of the finest observatories in the Islamic world at the time and the largest in Central Asia before it was destroyed in 1449. Some of the famous Islamic astronomers who worked at the observatory include Al-Kashi, Ali Qushji, and Ulugh Beg himself. In 1420, the great astronomer Ulugh Beg built a madrasah in Samarkand, named the Ulugh Beg Madrasah. It became an important centre for astronomical study and only invited scholars to study at the university whom he personally approved of and respected academically and at its peak had between 60 and 70 astronomers working there. In 1424, he began building the observatory to support the astronomical study at the madrasah and it was completed five years later in 1429. Beg assigned his assistant and scholar Ali Qushji to take charge of the Ulugh Beg Observatory which was called Samarkand Observatory at that time. He worked there till Ulugh Beg was assassinated. Other notable astronomers made observations of celestial movements at the observatory, including Qzda al-Rm (who took charge of the madrasah and observatory after Ali Qushji's death) and Jamshid Kashani. Ulugh Beg Madrasah, an important centre of astronomical study in Central AsiaHowever, the observatory was destroyed by religious fanatics in 1449 and was only re-discovered in 1908, by a Russian archaeologist named V.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Ulugh Beg- also Uluğ Bey, Ulugh Bek and Ulug Bek) (c. 1393 or 1394 in Sultaniyeh (Persia) - October 27, 1449) was a Timurid ruler as well as an astronomer, mathematician and sultan. His commonly-known name is not truly a personal name, but rather a moniker, which can be loosely translated as "Great Ruler" or "Patriarch Ruler" and was the Turkic equivalent of Timur's Perso-Arabic title Amīr-e Kabīr. His real name was Mīrzā Mohammad Tāregh bin Shāhrokh. Ulugh Beg was also notable for his work in astronomy-related mathematics, such as trigonometry and spherical geometry. He built the great observatory in Samarkand between 1424 and 1429. ... Read more
