【Summary】

Shajarat al-Atrāk is a carefully selected historical work derived from a now-lost chronicle attributed to the Timurid ruler Ulugh Beg, known as Tārīkh-i Ulūs-i Arbaʿa-yi Chingīzī, composed between 980 and 1000 A.H. The work focuses on the genealogy and history of the Mongol ruling house and its four principal Chinggisid ulūs.

Blending elements of universal history with dynastic historiography, the text draws extensively on a wide range of earlier historical sources, many of which are explicitly cited by the compiler. As such, it represents a valuable witness to the historiographical traditions of the late Timurid and early post-Timurid periods.

The present critical edition is based on two important manuscript witnesses preserved at Harvard University and the British Museum, providing a reliable and scholarly reconstruction of this significant historical text.
