Summary

The table is derived primarily but not exclusively from Terry Allen’s Catalogue (1981). The column “Cat. No.” refers to Allen’s catalogue numbers; and since his sources are in the corresponding entry in Catalogue, they are not reproduced. Only supplemental references are supplied. Allen’s Timurid Herat (1983) should be read alongside Catalogue for his amendations and clarifications.

In addition to Kartid projects for which evidence exists, tentative sponsorships are included and identified by the letter “T”; for example, Madrasa-yi ʿIzz al-Dīn ʿUmar Marghānī is listed because if it had survived the Mongol attacks, it would have been patronized by the Kartids: Marghānī was an ancestor of Rukn al-Dīn Marghanī (d. 643/1245), the castellan of Khaysār. Madrasa-yi Niẓāmiyya was sponsored by Seljuq vizier, Niẓām al-Mulk (d. 485/1092). It survived into the Timurid era and was refurbished by ʿAlī Shīr Nawāʾī (d. 906/1501). It was probably not neglected in the Kartid era.

The table is not dispositive or exhaustive.
