Sharaf al-Din
?-1454
Timurid poet and historian. Born in Yazd. He first served Shah Rukh's son Ibrahim, and was later invited by Sultan Muhammad of Qom. However, he incurred Shah Rukh's wrath in connection with Muhammad's rebellion and was sent to Samarkand in 1446-47. In 1449 he retired to the village of Takht near his hometown of Yazd, where he died. He was renowned as one of the leading Persian writers of his time. His major work, The Book of Victory, is a biography of Timur that he rewrote in ornate prose after Ibrahim Sultan had compiled it (completed in 1424-25).
