His metrical Persian compendium on therapeutics was written in 1388/790 and was often known as "Shihab's Medicine" as well as the more formal title Shifa' al-marad (The Healing of Disease). A considerable amount of autobiographical material is contained in this didactic poem, including the fact that al-Nagawri made his living in trade rather than as a physician.

It was the capital of the Soghdian people, but their loyalty to the Achaemenian rulers of Iran, as recorded at Persepolis, led to its destruction by Alexander the Great in 329 BC. Soghdian culture survived until the Arab conquests in the 8th century AD as shown in murals and artefacts uncovered in archaeological excavations. The campaigns of Genghis Khan in the 1220s caused devastation, but the city revived becoming the world-famous capital of

Annotated Bibliography Brief History of the Timurid Dynasty (1370-1506) Overview The founder and ruler of the Timurid Dynasty was Timur, or Tamerlane, who reigned from 1370 to 1405. The empire included the areas of Iran and Central Asia, with its first capital at Samarkand. Timur's goal as ruler was to re-create the Mongol Dynasty, since he considered himself of Mongol heritage through the maternal lineage of his wives. The Timurids' heritage consisted of two strains, one being Turkish-Mongol, and the other being Persian. The Turkish Mongol strain was nomadic, in that they were constantly mobile and living in tents, which is reflected in their architecture. Living in the nomadic culture made them completely self-sufficient. The Persian strain was the urban culture, which was more refined in its literacy and interest in history and heritage. The Timurid Dynasty is known for its monumental architecture, which Timur used as propaganda. On the architecture itself, kufic, an angular form of calligraphy was used on the exterior of the domes. The new visual marker on the architecture of this dynasty is the distinctive melon-shaped dome found on various buildings, like that on Gur-I Amir, c. 1405, the tomb of Timur and his grandson.

KHORASANIAN ARCHITECTURE Dear fellow Tajiks, The central aim of this page is to bring to readers a glimpse of our rich architectural heritage. These graceful monuments were built during many rulers, often invaders, and today they are scattered in different countries. However, these buildings were designed by our great Tajik architects and built by the hands of our talented Tajiks. No matter where these monuments are located, they are unmistakably part of our heritage. The following pictures are old, some even from late eighteen hundreds. Bear in mind that most of them are in black and white which can not truly convey the beauty of these buildings. As time permits, I will try to find and post them in color along with an article on Khorasanian Architecture which is wrongly labeled as "Islamic Architecture".

Uzbekistan Samarkand Uzbekistan is surrounded by high mountains but the interior is flat, flat, flat. A huge desert irrigated along the road with the waters from rivers that once fed the Aral Sea in order to produce cotton, the main uzbek product. During the soviet years Uzbekistan was planned to furnish cotton to the URSS, so they did the irrigation and cotton was produced. Lots of it. Unfortunately it also led to one of the biggest ecological disasters of the planet, the drying of the Aral Sea and the destruction of an entire ecosystem. In recent years there has been some effort in order to save and recover as much as possible of what is left of the Sea. Nowadays Uzbekistan is still a rural country and as soon as you leave Tashkent the signs of a place full of old traditions become rapidly visible. The women wear beautiful dresses full of bright colors and the man are very elegant with somber vests and pants and squared black hats with white broderies. When it's cold they also wear the chapan cotton coats. They were always much better dressed than us with our old jeans and T-shirts, that's for sure. The road from Tashkent to Samarkand crosses a small part of the Kazakstan where we stopped to buy wine that was supposed to be good and cheap there. In the road we also saw at the horizon what looked very much like an atomic mushroom explosion but we were told there were no atomic centrals there. Ok then. It took us 4 hours to get to Samarkand and we were brought to the Malika hotel. It's a brand new kind of hotel built for the tourists that are beginning to discover the wonders of the country. It is all in wood and constructed like a medressa, 2 stores with a central courtyard. The decoration was a beauty and the breakfast a real luxe though quite occidental.

93. Www.eso.org/gen-fac/pubs/astclim/espas/maidanak/maidanak.intro Mount Maidanak was selected as a result of tenyears site servings made by the UlughBeg Astronomical Institute of the Uzbek Academy of Sciences and Sternberg http://www.eso.org/gen-fac/pubs/astclim/espas/maidanak/maidanak.intro

================================================================= MAIDANAK OBSERVATORY Altitude=2600m Lat:38D 41'N, Long.: 66D 55' E Maunt Maidanak is located at a distance of 40 km south of the town of Kitab where the International Latitude Station is situated. It is an isolated summit belonging to the Pamir and Alai mountain system. Both in relief and vegetation the landscape of Maidanak is typical for high-mountain dry suptropics, bushes being prevailing. The relief is mainly smoothed and rock outcrops do not prevent from building. The road built together with the observatory just leads to Maidanak. The total distance between Kitab and Maidanak is 150 km long. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND. Mount Maidanak was selected as a result of ten-years site servings made by the Ulugh Beg Astronomical Institute of the Uzbek Academy of Sciences and Sternberg Astronomical Institute. By the early 90-ies many astronomical institutions of the Former Soviet Union built their observatories there. About ten telescopes with appertures from 0.5 to 1 m were installed. According to the Bishkek Agreement between independent states of the FSU dated on 1992 Uzbekistan took under its jurisdiction all these observatories and then assigned them to the Ulugh Beg Astronomical Institute of the Uzbek Academy of Science. Today we are working at Maidanak under the agreement between Uzbekistan and Russian, Ukrainean and Lathuanian astronomical institutions. The inter-government agreement to create the International Maidanak observatory is now in progress. INFRASTRUCTURE. A hotel and additional living rooms at the telescopes, a mechanical workshop, telephone and e-mail service at Maidanak are available. The urban observatory's base is located in Kitab where we have a hotel, e-mail, FAX and telephone communications, as well as a transport service to convey both observers and heavy equipment to Maidanak. WEATHER. In summer the average nightly temperature is +12 C. In winter it falls to -15 C. The temperature night-time amplitude is about 5 C. Winds are faint, their velocity not exceeding 2-3 m/c. SEEING. Clear night time annual amount estimated by some authors varies from 1900 to 2000 hours. The month distribution shows the August - September period to be the most favourable, the clear night-time amount approaching 100 percent of the possible one. A local peak in Febriary is noted very often. It is important to note that there are no light pollution sources in Maidanak environs. Maidanak seeing conditions were persistently studied. However, the different author's estimates differ widely. According to Shcheglov's group the seeing is better than 0.8 arcsec in 50% cases. SOME RESULTS. The observational programmes carried out on Mt.Maidanak have been resulted in the following data: ROTOR programme. About 65000 UBVR observation were made of non-stationary stars on the early stage of the stellar evolution (Ae/Be Herbig and T Tau stars, fuors and relative stars). (Ulugh Beg Institute). 40000 UBVR observations of 150 Cepheids were made (Sternberg Institute). Light curves with dense sampling for 50 close binary systems were obtained. (Ulugh Beg Institute). Ground observations of X-ray sources simultaneous with space ones were made, as well. (Ulugh Beg Institute and IKI). Today the monitoring of unique astronomical objects is very actual. For this kind of problems the longitude of Maidanak is of great importance. The western and eastern sites with comparable clear night-time are located in five-six hours of the longitude. Solar physics specialists have already realized these advantages. IRIS and TON projects for Solar oscillation measurements are good examples of that. ======================================================================= Dr.Shuhrat EHGAMBERDIEV !
