    Extractions: Previous (Alphabetically) Next Welcome page Ulugh Beg was the grandson of the Asian conqueror Timur. His father captured the city of Samarkand and gave it to Ulugh Beg. He became the ruler of Turkestan. Ulugh Beg was primarily an astronomer and he built an observatory at Samarkand, the construction beginning in 1428. The Observatory, which was circular in shape, had three levels. It was over 50 metres in diameter and 35 metres high. The director of the Observatory was Ali-Kudschi, a Muslim astronomer. Al'Kashi was another mathematician and astronomer who worked at the Observatory in Samarkand. Among the instruments specially constructed for the Observatory was a quadrant so large that part of the ground had to be removed to allow it to fit in the Observatory. There was also a marble sextant, a triquetram and an armillary sphere. Observations made at the Observatory brought to light a number of errors in the computations of Ptolemy With data from his Observatory, Ulugh Beg computed the length of the year as 365 days 5 hours 49 minutes 15 seconds; a fairly accurate value. He produced data relating to the Sun, the Moon and the planets. He also compiled a star catalogue giving the positions of 992 stars. In publishing this catalogue in 1437 he was the first since

At the time that Kashani was growing up Timur (often known as Tamburlaine) was conquering large regions. He had proclaimed himself sovereign and restorer of the Mongol empire at Samarkand in 1370 and, in 1383, Timur began his conquests in Persia with the capture of Herat. Timur died in 1405 and his empire was divided between his two sons, one of whom was Shah Rokh. While Timur was undertaking his military campaigns, conditions were very difficult with widespread poverty. Kashani lived in poverty, like so many others at this time, and devoted himself to astronomy and mathematics while moving from town to town. Conditions improved markedly when Shah Rokh took over after his father's death. He brought economic prosperity to the region and strongly supported artistic and intellectual life. With the changing atmosphere, Kashani's life also improved markedly. The first event in Kashani's life which we can date accurately is his observation of an eclipse of the moon which he made in Kashan on 2 June 1406 (He dated many of his works with the exact date on which they were completed.)

    Extractions: Ulugh Beg (1394 - 1449 CE) Ulugh Beg (meaning 'great prince') was born Muhammad Targay, the grandson of Shah Temur in Sultaniya. From 1409 he ruled Central Asia, the chief city of which was Samarkand. There, in 1420, he founded an educational institution (madrasah) in which astronomy was the most important subject. He personally interviewed and selected all the lecturers who taught there to determine their knowledge and their qualifications. Four years after founding the madrasah, Ulugh Beg constructed a three-storey observatory for solar observations in general, and for observations of the moon and planets in particular. The main instrument of the observatory was the Fakhri Sextant, which had a radius of around 40 metres, making it the largest astronomical instrument of its type in the world. The observations made by Ulugh Beg were very advanced for his time and surprisingly accurate. His calculation that the stellar year is 365 days, 6 hours, 10 minutes and 8 seconds, is remarkable as it is only 62 seconds more than the present estimation. Ulugh Beg assembled the best-known mathematicians of his day in the observatory, and equipped it with the finest instruments available. Among the mathematicians was Ghiyath al-Din al-Kashani, whose mastery of the theory of numbers was unmatched until fairly recent times.

    Extractions: By Eileen K. Gunn The Registan The Registan, which the 19th-century British traveler George Curzon called "the noblest public square in the world," is the main square of the old city, and the most spectacular architectural complex still standing in Central Asia. From this huge square in the heart of the city, which was planned by Timur as a grand covered bazaar, six main roads led out to six city gates, and thence to the rest of the known world: China, India, Russia, and Persia and the Mediterranean. In an urban renewal project as callous as any in the 20th century, Timur razed the houses and shops along the new right-of-way, evicting residents without notice and sending them scurrying with whatever of their possessions they could carry. According to Clavijo, the main road was constructed in 20 days.

    Extractions: Photo Credit: Daniel C. Waugh The two great archaeological sites of Samarkand are Ulugh Beg's astronomical observatory and the site of Afrasiab, the original Maracanda, the city that was permanently destroyed by Genghis Khan. Ulugh Beg's Observatory Two hundred years before Kepler, 150 before Tycho Brahe, Ulugh Beg compiled star tables more accurate than the West would know until the 16th century. He re-observed and corrected Ptolemy's star positions. That his work was not more widely known to Western astronomers was unfortunate. Ironically, his Catalog of Stars was discovered by a scholar in 1648, in Oxford's Bodelian Library. Even at that late date, it contained some information that was new and useful to the West and an English translation was published in 1917. Successful in his quest for knowledge, Ulugh Beg was ultimately unsuccessful as a ruler and a politician. Religious conservatives distrusted him, and he was assassinated in 1449 by his own son. Soon after death, his observatory was so thoroughly destroyed by religious conservatives that there was no trace left above ground, and its location was a mystery for centuries. In 1908 an amateur archaeologist, Vladimir Vyatkin, determined its likely location from searching ancient manuscripts and unearthed the sextant on Kukhak Hill, northeast of Afrasiab.
