Primary Documents

I have adjusted my post times and dates such that my primary sources all appear as individual links below this entry; however, I'm also including direct links here to all the primary source blog posts. Rather than give each of my twelve sources (eight of them being from the Early Modern period) its own post, I have divided them up accordingly into five different posts; the first four have sources grouped according to a theme, and the final is a primary document I've examined individually.

Who was Timur?
Anglo-Tamburlaine
Tamburlaine as Turkish leader
Tamburlaine at war
"Nevves from the Great Turke"
