Extractions: Astrónomo Autodidacta. Ulugh Beg nació 1393 en Sultaniyya Asia Central. Fue nieto de Timur un príncipe tártaro y regidor de Turkestan. Es conocido como un importante astrónomo y matemático del siglo XV. En 1424 construyó en Samarkand, madrasa, una institución de enseñanza de la astronomía. Posteriormente en 1428, Ulugh Beg comenzó la construcción de un magnifico observatorio en la misma ciudad y nombró a Ali-Kudsi como director del mismo. El observatorio estaba equipado con los mejores instrumentos de la época que incluía un sextante Fakhri hecho de mármol, el cual se utilizaba para calcular la inclinación de la eclíptica sobre el ecuador, el punto de equinoccio vernal, la duración del año tropical, y otras constantes astronómicas medidas por observación solar. El observatorio también incluía un cuadrante y una esfera Armilar. En 1437 publicó su trabajo mas famosos un catálogo de 992 estrellas llamado 'Zidj-i Djadid Sultani.' En el se revisaron las posiciones y magnitudes de las estrellas observadas por Ptolomeo , encontrando muchos errores en los cálculos de este autor.

http://www.iranchamber.com/personalities/jkashani/jamshid_kashani.php

Extractions: Ghyath al-Din Jamshid Kashani hyath al-Din Jamshid Kashani was born about 1380 CE. in Kashan, Iran and died in 1274 A.D on 22 June 1429 in Samarkand, Transoxania (now Uzbekistan). 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 Door: Lesley Arp en Alexandra de Jong, 4VWO, HML. Biografie van Ulugh Beg Ulugh Beg leefde in het begin van de 15 e eeuw. Toen was het christendom in verval. Andere rijken, zoals het Ottomaans Turkse rijk, waren belangrijk. Binnen het christendom ontstonden er allerlei stromingen. Dat kwam onder andere doordat de bijbel in de 14 e e eeuw de renaissance. Tijdens de Renaissance vond een herwaardering van de kunst uit de klassieke tijd plaats. In die kunst stond tevens de mens centraal. Florence maakte op het gebied van handel en cultuur een bloeiperiode mee. Er kwam een nieuwe generatie schilders in Florence, die zo realistisch mogelijk schilderden. De bekendsten waren Boticelli, Lippi en Ghirlandajo. De beroemdste wetenschapper en schilder uit die tijd was Leonardo da Vinci. Hij is geboren in Florence en leefde van 1452 tot 1519. Na de dood van Shah Rukh werd Ulugh Beg leider van Timurid. In die tijd maakte Timurid een cultureel hoogtepunt mee. Echter wist hij zijn macht niet goed te behouden, en daar probeerden andere prinsen van te profiteren. In 1449 is hij in opdracht van zijn zoon Abd al Latif vermoord. Hij wou blijkbaar de macht graag van hem overnemen.Vragen: . Wanneer leefde hij?

http://depts.washington.edu/uwch/silkroad/cities/uz/samarkand/obser.html

Extractions: Ulugh Beg was the oldest son of Shahrukh, born in the city of Sultaniyah during his grandfather Timur's (Tamerlane's) campaign in northern Iran in 1394. At age 4 he accompanied his grandfather as far as Kabul, on the campaign that went on to take Delhi; almost immediately after the Indian campaign, he joined Tamerlane's campaign to the west which resulted in the defeat of the Ottoman ruler Bayezid I at Ankara in 1402. As Tamerlane was preparing to invade China, he celebrated the marriages of several of his grandsons, among them Ulughbeg (then age 10), who also was designated to rule over a significant portion of Moghulistan (the region encompassing part of the Tien Shan Mountains and NW Xinjiang), which, of course, was yet to be conquered. It is likely that Ulugh Beg was one of the princes seen by the Spanish ambassador Clavijo when he visited Tamerlane's court in 1403-1404. Tamerlane's death in early 1405 not only cancelled the invasion of China but ushered in a period of civil strife in which the young Ulugh Beg took an active part. When his father, Shahrukh, finally managed to regain control over Transoxiana, he appointed Ulugh Beg as the regent there. The latter assumed his full responsibilities in 1411, although he continued to be subordinate to his father, who ruled the empire from Herat. At Shahrukh's death in 1447, Ulugh Beg succeeded him, but survived only two years as an independent ruler before being overthrown and beheaded in 1449.

Its economy, which has regressed like that of all ex soviet countries since 1991, has not been privatized much but it is showing signs of improvement thanks to foreign investment in new industries.

This great valley between the Tian Shan range to the north and the Alay mountains to the south enjoys the best agricultural land and climate of all Central Asia. A good place for apricot orchards such as this one. Greek, Persian and Chinese envoys came here as early as two centuries BC to trade with the prosperous kingdoms they found here. The Arabs came in the 8th century and converted the Buddhist turkic population to Islam. The Russians took the valley in the late 19th century along with the rest of Central Asia and introduced the intensive cultivation of cotton seen here. The communists went one step further and used the waters of the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers to irrigate vast tracts of desert to grow cotton. They drew so much from these rivers that the volume of the Aral sea fell by 75% and its area by 50%. An ecological catastrophe!

http://www.biographybase.com/biography/Beg_Ulugh.html

Extractions: The grandson of the conqueror Timur the Lame (1336 - 1405) and the oldest son of Shah Rukh, both of whom came from the Turkic Barlas tribe of Transoxiana (present Uzbekistan), Ulugh Beg was born in Sultaniyya in modern-day Iran. As a child he wandered through a substantial chunk of the Middle East and India as his grandfather expanded his conquests in those areas. With Timur's death, however, and the accession of Ulugh's father to much of the Timurid Empire, he settled in Samarkand which had been Timur's capital. After Shah Rukh moved the capital to Herat (in modern Afghanistan), sixteen year-old Ulugh Beg became the shah's governor in Samarkand in 1409. In 1411 he became a sovereign of the whole Mavarannhar khanate. The teenaged ruler set out to turn the city into an intellectual center for the empire. In 1417 - 1420 he built a madrasa ("university" or "institute") on Rigestan Square in Samarkand, and invited numerous Islamic astronomers and mathematicians to study there. Ulugh Beg's most famous pupil in mathematics was Ghiyath al-Kashi (circa 1370 - 1429). In 1437 Ulugh Beg determined the length of the sidereal year as 365.2570370...d = 365d 6h 10m 8s (an error +58s). In his measurements within many years he used a 50 m high gnomon. This value was improved by 28s 88 years later in 1525 by Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543), who appealed to the estimation of Thabit ibn Qurra (826-901), which was accurate to +2s.

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.

Earlier in the 15th century, Ulug Beg's parents, Shah-Rukh and Gawhar-Shad, had emerged victorious from the battle for Timur's empire. They established their capital city Herat (in present-day Afghanistan) as a center of culture and learning. They founded madrassahs colleges open to both men and women students. Their son Ulug Beg was based as Emir, or Prince, in Samarkand. He founded two madrassahs in Samarkand and Bukhara. Inscribed on the Ulug Beg Madrassah built in Bukhara in 1417, can still be read the words: "It is the duty of every Muslim man and woman to acquire knowledge." The Madrassah in the Registan in Samarkand is tiled in a sparkling pattern of stars for Ulug Beg is most famous for his observatory built in 1428, and opened the following year by his proud mother Gawhar-Shad. It was unsurpassed in the world. The great round building was bisected north to south by a gigantic marble quadrant which was cut down deep into the ground for stability. Its sights were moved into position on brass rails. This enabled the most accurate star tables ever to be complied.
