Timur and His Family is the first comprehensive analysis of the genealogical and dynastic structure of the Timurid empire across Central Asia and Iran. Drawing extensively on multiple manuscripts of Hafiz-i Abru’s Muʿizz al-ansab and framed by thematic introductory chapters, this study repositions kinship as a central category of historical analysis. By foregrounding family relationships alongside state formation, it offers a critical rethinking of social and political organization in pre-modern Islamic societies. An essential contribution to the fields of Central Asian history, Islamic studies, and genealogical scholarship.
