THE RELATIONS BETWEEN AMIR TEMUR AND SULTAN BAYAZID IN THE INTERPRETATION OF MARIE AROUET VOLTAIRE
Main Article Content
Abstract
The article examines the relationship between Amir Temur and Sultan Bayazid
as described by the French Enlightenment thinker of the 18th century, Marie
Arouet Voltaire, in his work “On the Spirit and Morals of Nations, or an Essay on the
Principal Historical Facts from Charlemagne to Louis XIII”. Based on the sources of the Timurid era, the study analyzes the French philosopher’s reflections on the
contradictions and clashes of interest that arose in the late 14th and early 15th
centuries between the rulers of Turan and the Ottoman Empire, the dynamics of the
development of diplomatic relations, and the details of the Battle of Ankara. The
research employs the comparative and problem-chronological methods. In
addition, Voltaire’s views on the negative perceptions that had developed in
Western Europe regarding the relations between Amir Temur and Sultan Bayazid
are examined on the basis of historical sources. The author analyzes the errors and
inaccuracies found in these interpretations and provides critical observations on the
matter.
