by Aḥmad ibn ʿArabshāh (أحمد بن عربشاه)
“ʿAjāʾib al-Maqdūr fī Nawāʾib Tīmūr” is a historical account written around 839 AH (1435 CE) by Aḥmad ibn ʿArabshāh in Damascus. This work offers a critical perspective on the conquests and rule of Amir Timur, providing a counterbalance to the more laudatory official histories. Drawing on eyewitness accounts and the experiences of those affected by Timur’s campaigns, it presents a nuanced view of his legacy.
