This is the first episode of a new mini series on the primary sources behind Timur's story. We begin with the Zafarnama (Book of Victories) by Sharaf ad-Din Ali Yazdi, written only 20 years after the death of Timur. Next week we should be back to the narrative. Sorry about the delay! Intro and outro music: "Fidayda" by Turku. Cover art created by Quintus Cassius. Podcast website can be found here and you can support the show at our patreon page.
