¹ There is some uncertainty as to the precise date of his death. The dates given by the best authorities range between February 18 and February 27, 1435. Other dates given are 1438 and 1444 or 1445, which are certainly wrong. In his tomb at Bīdar the date is given as Zi'l-Hijjah 29, in a year which may be variously read, in a copy of the inscription supplied to me, as 837 or 839. The former reading gives the date August 6, 1434, and the latter July 15, 1436.
