DIVAN HUSSEIN BAYKARA
“Devoni Husaini” is the creation of the representative of the Temurids dynasty Sultan Hussein Baykara (1438 – 1506), is considered one of the unique masterpieces of the heritage of medieval literature. The ruler, who created under the pseudonym Husseini, mainly wrote his works in the classical Uzbek language. It is assumed that the book was rewritten by the famous calligrapher of his time, who gained fame thanks to the writing of the manuscripts of Alisher Navoi by Sultan Ali Mashhadi. “Devoni Husaini” was rewritten in nastalik handwriting, decorated with royal ornaments, and the pages were strewn with grains of gold.
“MIRAJNAME”
One of the most valuable and rare finds in the history of book art of the Temurids era, written in Uyghur script, is the manuscript “Mirage” (“Ascension”), created in 1436 by the personal order of the fourth son of Amir Temur Shahrukh Mirzo – the father of the great astronomer Mirzo Ulugbek. Made by skillful calligraphers and miniaturists, it is currently stored in the French National Library in Paris (under Turc 190/1513 II) and is one of the rarest manuscripts in its collection and the pride of this library.
“The Mirage” is a religious and philosophical work that tells of the mystical journey of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) through the seven heavenly spheres. Its Arabic and Persian versions were widespread in the Middle Ages. However, the Turkic translation was made in the era of the Temurids. The unique manuscript preserved in the Paris collection is the earliest copy of the Turkic “Mirage”. For this reason, the manuscript is an invaluable legacy.
TEMUR TUZUKLARI (“TEMUR’S CODE”)
“Temur Tuzuklari” is an essay of a historical and legal nature and consists of two parts. The first sets out an autobiography of Amir Temur himself, starting from the age of seven, – all the events related to his life, political and military activities.
The second part – “Tuzukat” – is a kind of instruction on the structure of the state and the army, the duties of rulers and officials, who should have possessed qualities such as insight, courage and enterprise, as well as rules of conduct for subjects based on the concepts of fidelity and devotion. Among other things, the structure of the judicial system was fixed, the rights of soldiers, the common people and the poor, as well as the population of the conquered territories, were consolidated.
The historical significance of this document lies primarily in the fact that Amir Temur introduced the concept of the inviolability of the law, and also paid special attention to issues of moral purity and morality.
