An important, large-scale and ambitious undertaking by the Russian Archaeological Commission, whose work in the area prepared the ground for subsequent Western studies. This fascicule is devoted to the celebrated early 15th-century mausoleum of Tamerlane (Timur) and his family, showing plans, cuts and coloured details. It remains to this day unparalleled in scale and significance.
