Timurids in Transition (Brill's Inner Asian Library) (repost)

Applying the Weberian concept of the routinization of charisma, the book examines the transformation of the nomadic empire of Tamerlane into a sedentary polity based on the Perso-Islamic model by focusing on the reign of the last Timurid ruler Suln-usain Bayqara in fifteenth-century Iran.
